Vitrectomy slows progression of AMD
It is fairly well established that the vitreous plays a role in the progression of AMD. However, this is the first study that finds that the progression of AMD can be slowed by vitrectomy. Microplasmin, a new drug that can cause the vitreous to dissolve, eliminates vitreoretinal adhesions and is being tested as a treatment for vitreomacular...
AMD and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy are genetically similar
The genetic similarities between AMD and PCV suggests that these conditions are simply different manifestations of the same underlying disease. PCV is much more common in Asians than Caucasians, possibly due to genetic difference in these two populations. It has been reported that about 75% of Asians with neovascular AMD have macular polyps....
Although most isoforms of VEGF promote neovascularization ("bad VEGF"), there is at least one isoform, VEGF-A165b, that acts to inhibit CNV ("good VEGF"). Current anti-VEGF drugs, such as Lucentis and Avastin, inhibit all isoforms of VEGF (good and bad). Unfortunately, about 10% of people with AMD do not respond to Lucentis and Avastin therapy. It...
RNAi-based treatment for neovascular AMD by Sirna-027
This exciting new treatment modality is based on the principle of RNA interference. RNA acts as a messenger within the cell, carrying instructions from DNA within the cell's nucleus out to locations within the cell where the genetic instructions are used to build proteins. Interfering RNA intercepts and destroys the messenger RNA for specific...

About MyVisionTest
MyVisionTest.com has been developed to supplement the traditional Amsler Grid for those patients that have been instructed by their eye doctor to monitor their vision at home. MyVisionTest employs a technique known as entoptic perimetry to detect defects in your vision. Research has found entoptic perimetry to be superior to the traditional Amsler grid in detecting such defects. We also offer you the ability to save and review past test results, making it easier for you to detect changes in your vision over time.
