Age-related macular degeneration affects about 20 million people in the U.S. , and nearly 200 million people worldwide.
Estimates are that by 2040 , the disease may affect nearly 300 million people globally.
AMD 's causes are varied, and whether it will affect you is mostly determined by age and genetics.
Wet AMD is the quicker process of vision loss because these blood vessels wreak havoc.
The new blood vessels bleed, causing fluid to build in the macula, which ultimately leads to scarring.
The FDA approved two new drugs: Syfovre and Izervay , both of which only slow geographic atrophy.
Even after a patient is diagnosed with AMD , they usually see a specialist only twice a year .
Gonzalez often tells his patients to cover one of their eyes to make sure their vision is intact in both eyes.
Without quick, invasive treatment, the point of no return approaches rapidly.
