In this video, you will walk through a typical patient experience at the Retina Foundation with Abigail Christie, Research Associate. This experience is relevant for patients diagnosed with AMD and referred to the Retina Foundation for research and treatment opportunities.
LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR AMD PATIENT CENTER
Treating Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
There is no cure, or treatment, for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) at this time. Individuals diagnosed with advanced wet AMD can receive injections of therapeutic drugs in the eye to slow the progression of vision loss. Patients that are able to receive therapeutic injections will seek treatment with their eye doctor.
Approximately ninety-five percent of AMD patients are diagnosed with dry AMD. Researchers at the Retina Foundation are working diligently to find treatments for these individuals. Funding for this research is a crucial part of discovering treatments. Our AMD research is supported by individuals, foundations, and pharmaceutical/biotechnology corporations.
Should you have any questions about clinical trials being conducted at the Retina Foundation, or should you wish to join a trial, please contact our AMD clinical research staff at amd@retinafoundation.org or 214.363.3911, ext. 400.

Researchers at the Retina Foundation are working diligently to find treatments for patients diagnosed with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Learn more about the clinical trials we are currently enrolling for.
Our researchers are working to develop a drug delivery device for patients with AMD. It is a small Polymer device that slowly releases therapeutic drugs as needed over a period of weeks, months or years as prescribed by your physician.
Age-related macular degeneration can be detected in a routine eye exam. One of the most common early signs of macular degeneration is the presence of drusen — tiny yellow deposits under the retina — or pigment clumping. Research is looking at the role drusen degeneration plays in AMD.
