Age-related macular degeneration is the most common cause of blindness in the Western world and the leading cause of blindness in the United States in patients older than 65 years of age. AMD is a progressive degenerative disease of the retinal pigment epithelium, Bruch’s membrane, and choriocapillaris that is classified into two types:
nonexudative or dry AMD (90%) characterized by drusen, pigment changes, and RPE atrophy
exudative or wet AMD characterized by choroidal neovascularization
