Abstract
Advanced age related macular degeneration (AMD) is estimated to affect nearly 10 million people worldwide. Late AMD is associated with advancing age, smoking, positive family history, genetic susceptibility, high fat intake and obesity.1–4 It is predicted for advanced macular degeneration to increase in prevalence from the year 2020 to year 2040 by about 65%.1 A large percentage of that increase will be in the form of neovascular age related macular degeneration which is likely to increase in prevalence by about 47% from the year 2020 to the year 2040.2 Age related macular degeneration remains the leading cause of visual loss in people above 50 years old in industrialized countries.
