However, as to the following statement...
A point to be emphasized: this irresponsible article failes to point out that the great majority of ARMD patients have the non-exudative form, which is not treatable, at least with this drug....the title mentions the fact that this treatment is only for "wet" AMD.
"...the title mentions the fact that this treatment is only for "wet" AMD."
Indeed it does, but then it goes on to make this grossly inaccurate statement:
"Kleinfeld, 79, of Delray Beach, Fla., already blind in her right eye, lost sight in her other eye because of a condition called wet age-related macular degeneration, AMD, the leading cause of blindness in people over 55."
ALL forms of ARMD are indeed the leading cause of blindness in patients over 55, BUT that includes the MUCH more common non-exudative form. Additionally, from the retinal specialists I have talked to the STAGE of the exudative ARMD is of significant importance in the treatment success.
