Retinal regeneration Laser Treatment in Early Age-related Maculopathy

This study is testing a new type of laser treatment to see if it can slow down or partly reverse early age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is a disease that damages the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye and can eventually lead to loss of central vision. There is currently no approved treatment for early AMD, and this study is investigating a specially designed laser that targets the cells involved in the disease. You may be eligible if: - You are between 45 and 100 years old - You have early AMD with large deposits (drusen) and pigment changes in both eyes - You have impaired dark adaptation in both eyes - Your vision is equal to or better than 6/19 You may NOT be eligible if: - You have advanced AMD - You have diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma - You have had previous retinal surgery or laser treatment - You have other significant retinal or eye conditions - You have active cancer or other serious systemic illness - You are allergic to fluorescein dye Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.
