The PrONTO study clearly demonstrates that OCT-guided retreatment of neovascular AMD with Lucentis can achieve visual outcomes that are non-inferior to monthly dosing.

Cognitive impairment associated with AMD
This study suggests that cognitive impairment - including impaired thinking, learning and memory - may represent a new risk factor for AMD. It also provides evidence that AMD may represent one manifestation of a much broader systemic disorder that includes mental impairment. There is growing evidence that cardiovascular disease and inflammatory...

Most epidemiologic and interventional studies that have investigated this question have failed to find that a diet high in lutein/zeaxanthin consumption or use of lutein/zeaxanthin supplements decreases the risk of AMD progression.

Intravitreal Remicade beneficial for wet AMD
Although too small a study to permit any firm conclusions to be drawn, this series of three patients offers a tantalizing glimpse at the potential anti-TNF agents may hold to treat choroidal neovascularization.

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.
