What sort of treatments are there for Age-related macular degeneration? What treatments will the future hold?

I am just wondering what treatments there are for elderly adults who have this right now. And what sort of treatments might we see in the future that will reverse this condition?

As far as reversal, I have not read or heard anything as of yet, however I am certain that no_one should ever feel that hope is not in store for this degenerative affliction. I have been diagnosed with macular degeneration just this past year...I am determined to strive towards Holistic/Naturalistic avenues, increased vitamins for eyesight was perscribed to me, which only helps alleviate the speed of degenerative process to date thus far...Avoid sunlight exposure, get a good pair of sunglasses that blocks the harmful UV rays...WEAR them! Eat a diet that enhances the absorption of Vitamin A, Lutinen & carotenes necessary for eyesight development etc...go online & do a google seach for more info on age-related macular degeneration...there are very good diagrams/photos to help you understand what is really occurring...some procedures are available in attempt to correct one's eyesight you will read about...Best of luck~

collagen treatment could be good. It's also rich in amino acid. the connective tissues of the human body is mostly made of collagen. It's beneficial especially for people who have arthritis.

Currently there are no treatment for dry macular degeneration. Wet AMD is treatable with anti-VGF which causes some regression in the abnormal vascular growth. Frequent injections directly into the eye are needed though. There are preventative methods that are recommended but they are basically boiled down to a good anti-inflammatory diet. There may be new treatments I am not aware of, as I am not an ophthalmologist, the previous statements are all I can offer.

My Mum has age related macular degeneration and had to have an injection (called something like Avistan or Avastin) into her eye once a month for about 10 months. This treatment, if successful, does not repair the damaged eyesight but stops the bleeding behind the eye and stops the eyesight getting worse. In my Mum's case it was successful, they could tell this after one or two treatments, and so went on for all those months.
