Development of a Cellular Therapy for Age-Related Macular Degeneration

- Dennis O. Clegg, Ph.D., discusses treatments for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that causes vision loss. Clegg explains that while patients often report improved vision after receiving implants, objective tests don't always confirm this. He explores the potential differences in patients' responses based on genetics and disease progression. There is also an ongoing challenge in finding the best ways to reduce immune rejection of these treatments. New trials are underway to test implants in earlier stages of the disease, and researchers are looking at different strategies like localized immunosuppression. Additionally, some studies suggest that secretions from retinal cells may help preserve vision. Overall, there are many open questions, but advances in the field offer hope for better AMD treatments.

How do I access this treatment? I really need my eyes for the piano. I'm from Australia. I offer my eyes for any testing, I don't mind having my eyes as guinea pigs for this treatment since I'm going to go blind anyway. Please keep up the excellent work. Many thanks.

You should see your doctor
You have floaters. I have too. Trying castor oil on my eyelids before sleeping and wash it off in the morning. I have done it every other day for 2 weeks now. Slight improvement, definitely moving forward.@@reaprendiendosiempre
