AMD facts

• Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is an ophthalmologic disease causing irreversible partial vision loss or for the worst cases blindness.
• AMD is the first cause of vision loss after 50 years old, and prevalence is about 25 % for people older than 75. It is estimated that it will affect nearly 196 million people worldwide in 2020, including 69 million cases in Europe (Wong et al., 2014).
• There are two kinds of this pathology : atrophic and exudative AMD, also called respectively dry and wet AMD.
• There are treatments for the exudative form such as anti-VEGF antibodies (ranibizumab and bevacizumab). The atrophic form, which corresponds to more than 90% of cases, doesn’t have any satisfactory therapeutic option exists to prevent vision loss (Schmier et al., 2006).
