AMD is an age-induced condition, which advances exponentially with age. E.g. 15% of people over the age of 85 suffer from an advanced stage of this disease. The constantly rising life expectancy of the general public contributes to AMD, which is now the most common severe visual impairment.

Dry AMD can become the wet type. This type is more aggressive, faster and has more serious consequences. The dry type makes up about 85 – 90% of AMD cases. At this time, only wet AMD can be treated – if detected early enough.
