Current Research
Age-Related Macular Degeneration Genetics Study
A major goal of this work is to better characterize specific risk factors for macular degeneration. As these risk factors are identified, more specific preventative and treatment therapies can be developed for patients with macular degeneration. This work is especially important for future generations of current patients with macular degeneration.
