Second is age related macular degeneration, diabetes, hypertension and then related to other secondary ailments like cancer, HIV, that can cause retinal degeneration. Even myopia will produce retinal degeneration, in all these situations one way we treat it by taking a drop of the patient’s blood, making the patients fetal DNA, giving it back as injections to the patient, thereby taking it a few years atleast and thereby treating his condition however the rest of the world is also keeping up wt this technology. One of the many methods is an Anti Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor. What that means is actually started out as treatment for cancer. Age related macular degeneration is opposed to be occurring due to many reason but one of the most interesting reason is ultraviolet radiation. A very important study was done 60 years ago where 90% of the people above 60 years had Age related macular degeneration. This led us to believe we need ultraviolet radiation protection.

Wet type means there is a leak, blood vessels are growing and they are healthy enough and there is a leak. This is the only type where these drugs can be used. Some of the important drugs that has come in the market are Bevacizumab, Aflibercept, Ranibizumab. However more effective with retinal degeneration whether it is diabetic, age related is to use the patient’s own healthy DNA which we can make from one drop of the patient’s blood and give it back as injections to the patient.
