Macular Degeneration – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Macular degeneration, an age-related retinal disease, is characterized by a gradual central visual acuity decline, primarily due to neovascularization in the subretinal space, partly driven by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) activity. In its early stages, macular degeneration can manifest subtly: Gradual loss of clear object perception Objects may seem distorted in shape Straight lines can appear wavy or irregular A diminished ability to perceive colors distinctly Development of a dark or empty spot at the center of one's vision The underlying causes of macular degeneration remain unidentified. Notably, women tend to experience AMD earlier than men. This condition occurs in two forms: "dry" (atrophic) and "wet" (exudative), with the majority of cases falling into the dry category. Unfortunately, no specific treatment exists for dry AMD. However, recent advancements have introduced various agents targeting VEGF, which have shown p...
