Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in developed countries among people over 50 years of age. Myopic maculopathy is also an important cause of irreversible vision loss. Reduced near visual acuity is still a major problem with all forms of AMD and myopic maculopathy. Various intraocular lenses for near vision (IOLs) or telescopic systems have been described but are not widely accepted and almost all solutions require phakic status of the eye and are implanted during cataract surgery. Therefore, these devices are not appropriated for pseudophakic AMD and myopic maculopathy patients. Scharioth Macula Lens (SML, Medicontur) is a magnifying intraocular lens for pseudophakic patients implanted in the ciliary sulcus in one eye of each patient. The implant has a bifocal optic, with a central 1.5mm diameter optical zone equivalent to +10D add and a peripheral zone optically neutral. The implantation of the add-on SML can improve the near visual acuity of pseudophakic patients with AMD and myopic maculopathy without impairing their distance visual acuity. The principal objective is to compare the near visual acuity, the far visual acuity and the self-reported vision health status before and after the SML implantation.
This LIGHTSITE II study is a double-masked, sham-controlled, parallel design, prospective multi-site study for the use of PBM as a treatment for visual impairment in subjects with dry AMD.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness among adults in North America. The current standard of care for patients with exudative ("wet") AMD is anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy which must be administered by an injection into the eye every 4-8 weeks. MT-0814 is being developed for the treatment of patients with exudative AMD, and could offer an alternative, safer and less burdensome therapy.
This is a study in people with an eye disease called wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD). The purpose of the study is to find out how well different doses of a medicine called BI 836880 are tolerated. People can participate if they are at least 55 years old and if they have new blood vessels in their eyes despite treatment (anti-VEGF therapies). The study has 2 parts. In the first part, people get only 1 dose of BI 836880. This part takes 6 weeks. In the second part, people get 3 times the same dose of BI 836880. This part takes 6 months. BI 836880 is injected into the eye. During the entire study doctors regularly check the health of the participants.
The study will explore the impact of photobiomodulation (PBM), pulsating at frequencies of red (660nm) and near-infrared (810nm)(NIR), concurrent with a ketogenic dietary protocol (serum ketones @ .5 - 2.0 mmol/L) to mediate vascular features of diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic macular edema (DME), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), mid-peripheral drusens, visual acuity and retinal disorders. Red and near-infrared light via light-emitting diode (LED) treatment promotes retinal healing and improves visual acuity by augmenting cellular energy metabolism, enhancing mitochondrial function, increasing cytochrome C oxidase activity, stimulating antioxidant protective pathways and promoting cell survival. LED therapy directly benefits neurons in the retina, the lateral geniculate nucleus and the visual cortex; likewise, a ketogenic dietary protocol shows metabolic and neuro-modulatory benefits within the CNS, most notably as treatment for refractory epilepsy. Photobiomodulation has been approved as a non-significant risk (NSR) modality for the treatment of eye disorders.
Reading performance in patients with Central Vision Loss and age matched controls with artificial scotomas will be measured with and without different kinds of remapping of missing text to different parts of the visual field.
This is an open label first in human Phase I/II multicentre study of GT005 in subjects with Macular Atrophy due to AMD
This is a double-masked, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, evaluating the efficacy and safety of ALK-001 in participants with Geographic Atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Up to 200 participants will receive ALK-001 while up to 100 participants will receive a placebo.
This research study will examine the safety and effectiveness of ONS-5010 in participants with AMD. The goal is to prevent vision loss by evaluating the effectiveness of ONS-5010 as compared with ranibizumab.
