  2. Biological effects of high-energy visible light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_effects_of_high...

    Blue light, a type of high-energy light, is part of the visible light spectrum. High-energy visible light (HEV light) is short-wave light in the violet/blue band from 400 to 450 nm in the visible spectrum, which has a number of purported negative biological effects, namely on circadian rhythm and retinal health (blue-light hazard), which can lead to age-related macular degeneration.

  3. Stem cell therapy for macular degeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_therapy_for...

    Induced pluripotent stem cell taken from blood cell and converted in retinal pigment epithelium. Stem cell therapy for macular degeneration is an emerging treatment approach aimed at restoring vision in individuals suffering from various forms of macular degeneration, particularly age-related macular degeneration (AMD). [1]

  4. Macular degeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macular_degeneration

    The incidence of age-related macular degeneration and its associated features increases with age and is low in people <55 years of age. [101] Smoking is the strongest modifiable risk factor. [102] As of 2008, age-related macular degeneration accounts for more than 54% of all vision loss in the white population in the US. [103]

  5. Retinal implant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_implant

    A retinal implant is a visual prosthesis for restoration of sight to patients blinded by retinal degeneration. The system is meant to partially restore useful vision to those who have lost their photoreceptors due to retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) or age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

  6. Visual prosthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_prosthesis

    The ability to give sight to a blind person via a bionic eye depends on the circumstances surrounding the loss of sight. For retinal prostheses, which are the most prevalent visual prosthetic under development (due to ease of access to the retina among other considerations), patients with vision loss due to degeneration of photoreceptors (retinitis pigmentosa, choroideremia, geographic atrophy ...

  7. Laser coagulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_coagulation

    Argon, krypton, dye and diode lasers have been used with varying levels of energy to try to prevent age-related macular degeneration by eliminating drusen. A Cochrane review published in 2015 found that while laser treatment reduces drusen, there is no difference from placebo at 2 years with respect to preventing vision loss. [5]
