Age-related macular degeneration (AMD): causes and cures- intervening early, before vision is threatened

Description: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in our community. This research aims to identify new causative pathways leading to AMD as well as conduct two novel early interventions trials to prevent vision loss. This research will provide evidence for more feasible ways to conduct early intervention studies. With this new knowledge we will be closer to preventing vision loss from this prevalent and devastating disease.
