QLT's eye drug gets orphan designation in U.S. - Yahoo! News
news.yahoo.com — “From Yahoo! News: (Reuters) - Canadian biotechnology company QLT Inc said the U.S. health regulator granted an orphan status to its key eye drug. The drug, Visudyne, is already approved as a treatment for age-related macular degeneration, a cause of blindness in people over the age of 55, and the company is now seeking approval for chronic or recurrent central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). CSC symptoms include blind spots in the central visual field, reduced contrast sensitivity and color visi” View full resource at news.yahoo.com

Promising New Treatments, Research and High-Tech Advances Provide Hope for People with Age-related Macular Degeneration
aao.org — “Approximately 15 million people in the United States have age-related macular degeneration (AMD), an eye disease that can rob people of their central vision. In fact, AMD is a leading cause of blindness in Americans age 65 and older. Not long ago, a diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration offered little in the way of hope due to limited treatment options. Groundbreaking research, however, has recently led to treatment options that can slow the progression of the disease and even restore so” View full resource at aao.org

Genome Medicine | Abstract | Systems-level analysis of age-related macular degeneration reveals global biomarkers and phenotype-specific functional networks
genomemedicine.com — “Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness that affects the central region of the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE), choroid, and neural retina. Initially characterized by an accumulation of sub-RPE deposits, AMD leads to progressive retinal degeneration, and in advanced cases, irreversible vision loss. Although genetic analysis, animal models, and cell culture systems have yielded important insights into AMD, the molecular pathways underlying AMD's onset and progres” View full resource at genomemedicine.com
