Expert Insights: Future Treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration
An insidious eye disease, age-related macular degeneration blurs the central field vision of elderly people. It’s a leading cause of severe, permanent vision loss that preferentially affects white people over the age of 55. Although there is no cure, research by Brian McKay, PhD, found a promising potential treatment in a drug that has been used to treat Parkinson’s disease for decades.
Dr. McKay is a professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Science at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson. He’s hopeful that his research will lead to a treatment that prevents blindness for many people.
