Age-related macular degeneration is an eye disease, that gradually degrades the macula, a part of the retina, which is responsible for central vision. ARMD occurs in one of the two types, 1. Dry ARMD and 2. Wet ARMD. The purpose of this paper is to diagnose the retinal disease ARMD. The extent of the disease spread in the retina can be identified by extracting the features of the retina. Detect...

Ranibizumab is a monoclonal antibody fragment that inhibits angiogenesis by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor A, used as a treatment for patients with wet aged-related macular degeneration (ARMD). Adverse effects from intravitreal Ranibizumab injections are well recognised. Macular hole formation following Ranibizumab injection is a complication that has been recently reported in fe...

PURPOSE To develop a systematic method for identifying and grading age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) in human donor eyes, postmortem fundus appearance was compared with histopathologic assessment in eyes with a spectrum of age-related macular change. METHODS Eyes without grossly visible, late ARMD were obtained from 8 cancer patients and 26 donors older than 50 years. Postmortem fundus ...

AIMS To evaluate alteration of plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in patients with exudative age related macular degeneration (ARMD). METHODS Plasma nitrite plus nitrate concentrations as an index of plasma NO levels and plasma MDA level as a marker of lipid peroxidation were measured in patients with exudative ARMD and age and sex matched healthy subjects. RESULTS Si...

PURPOSE To determine the prevalence of early and late-stage age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and its association with risk factors such as age, gender, smoking, body mass index, hypertension and diabetes history, cataracts and pseudophakia. DESIGN Population-based cross-sectional study in an elderly Japanese-Brazilian population from Londrina (Paraná, Brazil). METHODS The study inclu...

The inherited macular dystrophies comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by central visual loss and atrophy of the macula and underlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). The different forms of macular degeneration encompass a wide range of clinical, psychophysical and histological findings. The complexity of the molecular basis of monogenic macular disease is now beginning t...

The aim of this study is to show what part of our County has the most population with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and how some types frequently appear in same parts. The County includes 3 different geographic areas: Gorski Kotar, Coast and Islands. ARMD is the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in developed countries. There are two categories of ARMD: atrophic or "dry"...

age-related macular degeneration (armd) is a major cause of central blindness among working aged adults across the world. systematic research planning on any subject, including armd is in need of solid data regarding previous efforts in this field and to identify the gaps in the research. this study aimed to elucidate the most important trends, directions, and gap in this subject. the data extr...

Introduction: Subretinal hemorrhage is most commonly associated with choroidal neovascular membrane secondary to age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). Case presentation: A case of submacular hemorrhage is described in a 69-year-old male with dry age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) hours after undergoing an uncomplicated, routine cataract surgery of the left eye. Methods and results: Fluo...
