Age-related macular degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in people over 50. AMD affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. Our treatment options for AMD include:
Dry AMD treatment
- Photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) with the Valeda Light Delivery System (LDS) for drusen.
- Anti-VEGF injections of Syfovre (Pegcetacoplan) for geographic atrophy (coming soon).
Wet AMD treatment
- Anti-VEGF intravitreal injections of Vabysmo (Faricimab)
- Anti-VEGF intravitreal injections of Eylea (Aflibercept)
- Anti-VEGF intravitreal injections of Lucentis (Ranibizumab)
- Anti-VEGF intravitreal injections of Avastin (Bevacizumab)
AMD treatment aims to slow the progression of the disease and preserve vision. Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for maintaining visual function and quality of life.
Dry AMD is characterised by the presence of drusen, and small yellow deposits under the retina. Treatment for dry AMD includes photobiomodulation therapy with the Valeda Light Delivery System (LDS), which uses light to stimulate cellular function and reduce drusen. Additionally, anti-VEGF injections of Syfovre (Pegcetacoplan) are being introduced to treat geographic atrophy, a severe form of dry AMD.
Wet AMD occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina and leak fluid or blood, causing rapid vision loss. Treatment for wet AMD focuses on anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) therapy, which helps reduce the growth of these abnormal blood vessels. Our treatment options include intravitreal injections of Vabysmo, Eylea, Lucentis, and Avastin. These injections help to stabilise vision and, in some cases, improve it by reducing fluid leakage and preventing further damage.
