The NLH Eyes and Vision Specialist Library presents a collection of evidence on Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) that has emerged in the past 12 months. The term Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is used to cover both wet and dry forms of the disease AMD. The dry form of the condition is also known as geographic atrophy and the wet form of the condition is also known as neovascular AMD. The emphasis of this Annual Evidence Update is on the sight threatening or visually impairing forms of AMD. Searches were limited to the period February 2007 to May 2008 and the findings are presented through a number of topics reflecting the care pathway. The evidence has been categorised into secondary publications, interventional studies and observational studies. Links to the full text articles are provided where available and links to PubMed abstracts in all other cases.
