Take, for example, Macular Degeneration (AMD). This is one of the major public health problems in ophthalmology in developed countries – it affects 10% of people over 60 years and almost 30% over 75 years, leading to the loss of central vision in patients over 55 years. The effective treatments for AMD are done with Thermal Laser Treatment. Although this is ancient, it has proven its effectiveness, yet it is not indicated in all cases. Meanwhile, our treatment by photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been approved by the FDA in 2000. The treatment is based on the infusion of an intravenous photosensitive drug that is activated by a low intensity laser (diode) and aims to reduce the risk of vision loss in patients with wet AMD.
