Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) has a global prevalence of around 170 million. Wet AMD, as opposed to dry AMD, exhibits vascular involvement which greatly exacerbates the pathological process of the disease. Only 10-15% of cases of AMD are wet, and while it is the more severe form, it can be treated.
AMD is one of the world’s top 7 causes of blindness and visual impairment. At PharmaLegacy, we believe that this needs to change. Were we to join efforts, with our models and your pipeline, AMD might one day lose its spot on the world’s leading causes of visual impairment and blindness.
