A Prospective Study

To determine whether patients with Age related macular degeneration (ARMD) benefit from cataract surgery in terms of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and to assess impact of surgery on progression of ARMD.: A prospective study was carried out of patients with and without ARMD undergoing cataract surgery at our department. Patients were divided into two groups- Group A (cases) with ARMD and Group B (controls) without ARMD and other retinal pathology. BCVA of cases was recorded on day 1, day 14, 1 month and 1/month and compared to that of controls.: BCVA significantly improved but markedly less than that experienced by control eyes. No increased incidence in progression to wet form of ARMD. Cataract surgery is safe in ARMD patients with no evidence of increased complications or rates of disease advancement.

End Stage

End-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects approximately 1.8 million Americans and limits older adults’ ability to perform activities of daily living. No current pharmaceutical options exist for visual improvement in these patients. The telescope implant is the only Food and Drug Administration approved intraocular device for visual rehabilitation in end-stage AMD patients, with either bilateral geographic atrophy or disciform scarring, who are phakic (in at least one eye) with best spectacle-corrected visual acuity of 20/160–20/800 or worse in both eyes.
