摘要
年龄相关性黄斑变性是一种随年龄增长而发病率逐渐上升的黄斑部疾病。主要由视网膜色素上皮细胞和视网膜退行性变而引起的不可逆性的中心视力下降或丧失。近年来,对多种类型年龄相关性黄斑变性尤其是新生血管型(age-related macular degeneration,ARMD)的治疗已经进行了大量的多中心的临床实验观察,涌现出光动力疗法、药物治疗、放射治疗、激光光凝、黄斑下手术、经瞳孔温热治疗、中医药治疗等方法,本文就ARMD目前有关的治疗方法及其进展做一综述。
Age-related macular degeneration is a severe macular disease of which the incidence increases with the patients' age growing. This diseaseis characterized by progressive deterioration of the retinal pigment epithelium and macula, leading to irreversible decrease or loss of central vision. Recently, a great many of randomized clinical trials have been observed for the evaluation of the treatment of various types of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) especially neovascular ARMD, such as photodynamic therapy, drug treatment, radiotherapy, laser photocoagulation, surgical intervention, transpupillary thermotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. The present paper reviews the progress in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration.
