Age-related Macular Degeneration is a condition results in blurred or no vision in the center of the visual field due to damage in the retinal macula. There are two types of macular degeneration namely dry macular degeneration and wet macular degeneration. The former is characterized with loss of central vision due to thinning of parts of the macula associated with age whereas the latter develops tiny clumps of protein in the macula along with leakage of blood or other fluid from new, abnormal blood vessels under the retina. Risk factors of age-related macular degeneration are smoking, overweight, hypertension, high cholesterol levels and heart disease.

According to pooled study analysis there is 8.69% global prevalence of age-related macular degeneration and it accounts for 8·7% of all blindness worldwide. There is a higher prevalence of age-related macular degeneration in Europeans and North Americans than in Asians and Africans. There is an increased risk of age-related macular degeneration from 2% among ages 50-59 and to nearly 30% for those over the age of 75.

According to WHO, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) ranks third among the global causes of visual impairment with a blindness prevalence of 8.7% and primary cause for loss of vision in developed countries. Age-related macular degeneration affects approximately 142 million people and about 105 million people are affected by diabetic eye disease worldwide.
