More than twofold increased risk seen for nAMD development in unadjusted and adjusted models

LPA was identified as a novel single nucleotide polymorphism that is associated with increased risk for AMD

Findings seen for patients being treated for neovascular age-related macular degeneration or diabetic macular edema

Findings seen after adjusting for lifestyle factors and comorbidities

However, a healthy lifestyle can mitigate some of the risks associated with low socioeconomic status

In eyes with noncentral GA, proximity-based progression toward central macula was slower with randomization to antioxidants

Melatonin use linked to reduced risk for developing AMD and for progression from nonexudative to exudative AMD

Hospital eye service follow-up clinics maintain better diagnostic accuracy for active lesions

Association found to be stronger with higher levels of exposure, but only significant in urban areas

Two trials show significant slowing of geographic atrophy progression at the 12-month primary end point
