Macular degeneration is one of the most common retinal diseases in India. Usually it is observed in people over 60s and is therefore called age related Macular degeneration, ARMD or AMD. The macula is responsible for the sharp central vision needed for detailed activities such as reading, writing, driving, face recognition and ability to see colours. Age related macula degeneration is degenerat...

Age-related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) is a degenerative condition of the center of the retina which is associated with aging. ARMD is a leading cause of vision loss in adults 50 years of age or older in many countries around the world. Macular drusen have often been found at the early stages of ARMD. The progressive of ARMD is so slowly that people notice just little changes in their vision. ...

background: age-related macular degeneration (amd) is one of the leading causes of visual loss among people aged 65 yr and older. the pathophysiology of amd is poorly understood. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between serum lipid concentrations and age-related macular degeneration. methods: in this case-control study, total cholesterol (tch), low density lipoprotein ...

AIMS/BACKGROUND Oxidative damage has been proposed to be involved in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether red blood cell antioxidant enzyme activity correlates with severity of aging maculopathy in affected individuals. METHODS Blood samples were obtained from 54 patients with varying severity of aging maculopathy and 1...

Background and Aims: Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a degenerative retinal disorder that causes progressive loss of central vision in older adults. The study aimed to determine the effect of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) as oxidizing metabolite and paraoxonase (PON1) activity within its phenotypes as an antioxidant agent in the development of such multifactorial disease. Mater...

Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the most common cause for visual impairment in the elderly in western countries. Its incidence in India is expected to increase with the increase in the size of geriatric population. Recently several antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs like pegaptanib sodium (Macugen), ranibizumab (Lucentis) and bevacizumab (Avastin) are available for u...

BACKGROUND Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a leading cause of blindness in the United States, but the mechanisms that initiate and promote the disease remain ill defined. There are several risk factors that ARMD shares with atherosclerosis, and these diseases may have similar pathogenic mechanisms that involve inflammation. Chlamydia pneumoniae, a prokaryotic pathogen that causes chr...
