Something very different from what i usually draw and from my last Vaschete fanart. I love those guys so i really wanted to make more fanart, but i didn't know what to draw exactly.

Here, i tried to paint Machete, Vasco and Smollchete in the style of the character portraits in Disco Elysium. I don't think i quite achieved that effect, but i still liked the end results.

Smollchete is further away from the usual character portraits in DE, but it was on purpose because i wanted to emphasize how he's just a little guy. And the little guy gets smaller and smaller...

In retrospective (because i finished this art a few days ago) Disco Elysium's style of painting doesn't really seem to mix the colors, which i did a lot here, specially on Machete. Also not a lot of gradients like i did on Vasco. They also shade with much more wild and different colors.

I'm going to put all the rest of my madman ramblings below. It's long and your mileage may vary if you played Disco Elysium or not (no spoilers tho.)

---

Okay, so... As i had the idea of making these disco elysium style portraits but with the gay catholic dogs, i had just beaten Disco Elysium. And so, as i was doing my things in my day to day life, waiting for the opportunity to actually draw them, i kept thinking about skill interactions with the boys, like if your main character talked to them and had enough points in the skill.

Things like Half-light identifying Machete as a brutal and hardened survivor just by looking at his eyes, but Physical Instrument doesn't believe that because Machete looks like just a spindly noodle. And Half-light would be like no bro, trust me, this guy is hardcore.

Shivers or Spirit-de-Corps would tell you how Machete is treated among his fellow bishops and how he's either vilified or seen as a tool. And at that Inland Empire would pipe in saying “He is treasured. But not here.” because yeah we love him. Despite almost everyone in his world hating his guts

Also yeah Reaction Speed clocking Machete as super paranoid. Specially considering maybe in this universe you'd be investigating one of his assassination attempts or maybe even something sinister that Machete had done.

Reaction Speed: “His eyes dart across the room, checking if you have any backup. Then, a twitch of the ear, followed by a sideways glance." Logic: "He is making sure he isn't being flanked.” Inland Empire: “But he's all alone...”

I also feel like Rhetoric would have a field day with Machete. Like, finally, a worthy opponent.

Empathy would get the feeling that despite his reputation, that there is someone else behind Machete's bug eyes, someone other than Machete, the pale eminence. If you have enough points in a skill, it would try to pipe in saying who they think it is, judging Machete (e.g: Authority: "A man superior to you."; Pain Threshold: "It's just sweet pain all the way to the bone."; Half-Light: "A survivor."; Encyclopedia: "The inside lining of the eye is covered by special light-sensing cells that are collectively called the retina. It converts light into electrical impulses. Behind the eye, your optic nerve carries these impulses to the brain. The macula is a small extra-sensitive area in the retina that gives you central vision.") concluding with Drama: "No one he'd want you to know, sire."

That would trigger a dialogue option for an Empathy white check to try and see who's actually behind Machete's eyes and see beyond his reputation and demeanor. I'd imagine you would get a +2 if you talked to Vasco before. And if you pass the check, the screen would go white and Machete's model and portrait would change to Smollchete and you'd be able talk to him for a moment, the little guy, and learn a little bit more about his backstory, stuff that he hides behind the Machete persona. That's why i painted Smollchete too. I don't think Empathy has this same kind of metaphysical effect like others skill in-game, but i thought it would be cool.

Talking to Vasco for the first time would just straight up heal you 1 morale. No skill check necessary. Here, have some free morale.

Your Encyclopedia would recognize his coat of arms and maybe deduce that Vasco is a diplomat or a politician. Then your Composure would tell you straighten your posture and put up your serious face, Suggestion would tell you to flatter him while adressing him strictly formally, but the two of them would be thrown off-kilter as Vasco starts acting very casual and down-to-earth. Maybe Authority would judge his attitude to be unfitting of someone in such position. Idk. This is all random ramblings that were bouncing in my head that i needed to let out.

Hope this isn't too weird, i just had a lot of time between having the idea to draw this and actually sitting down to draw it, so these ideas were just popping up in my head. I wish i could've just put those in the tags, but it waaaay exceeds the tag limit.

[maxbytes]

the best way to check is to get an eye exam. its possible it did some damage to your retinas that can be detected by getting some fundus photography done (typically ~$40 on top of whatever they charge for an exam). extensive sun damage can catalyze the development of macular degeneration or even retinal detachment. if you dont notice anything particularly weird about your vision (any dark/white spots, decreased color perception, getting more floaters or anything like a hair obscuring your vision) youre probably fine, but its always good to get fundus photos as they can detect conditions that dont show any symptoms, like damage to the macula/retinas -optometry tech

interesting....

Seeing Unclearly

The light-sensitive tissue at the backs of your eyes, your retinas, allow you to see. But your macula is the real superstar of your vision. This tiny part of your retina is responsible for seeing fine detail. In the eye disease, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), it's the macula that deteriorates. Modelling AMD is tricky as mice don’t have maculas, so researchers created lab-grown retinal organoids made from human induced pluripotent stem cells. These organoids mimicked the makeup of the retina, including the macula. Fluorescence microscopy of slices through organoids (pictured) revealed adding chemicals associated with eye disease caused changes seen in AMD, namely, loss of photoreceptor cells (green) and more glial cells (red) in diseased organoids (right) versus healthy ones (left). Further experiments uncovered how photoreceptor cells are lost – through cell extrusion – and that the protein PIEZO1 is involved. This model can, therefore, help unpick what's happening in AMD.

There are approximately 120 million rods and 6 million cones concentrated in the centre of the human retina. This area is called the macula, and it allow us to see fine details.

But all I see is you xx

🫣 I'm starting to think you got a vibe off my posts last night since you sent so many anons 😅 If you're worried you don't have to be, I'll be okay. But your lil puns help, thank you! You're so sweet and smart 🖤

Retina Surgery in Brisbane: A Guide to Treatment and Recovery

Common Conditions Requiring Retina Surgery

Several conditions may necessitate retina surgery, including:

Retinal Detachment: This occurs when the retina pulls away from its normal position, causing vision impairment or blindness if not treated promptly. Retina Surgery in Brisbane Retinal detachment is considered a medical emergency, and surgery is often required to reattach the retina and prevent permanent vision loss.

Macular Hole: A macular hole is a small break in the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision. Surgery may be needed to close the hole and restore normal vision, although success rates can vary depending on the size and duration of the hole.

Diabetic Retinopathy: People with diabetes are at risk of developing diabetic retinopathy, a condition where blood vessels in the retina are damaged due to high blood sugar levels. Advanced cases may require surgery to remove abnormal blood vessels and prevent further vision loss.

Epiretinal Membrane (ERM): Also known as macular pucker, ERM is a condition where a thin layer of scar tissue forms on the retina's surface. It can cause blurred or distorted vision, and surgery may be performed to remove the membrane and improve visual clarity.

Types of Retina Surgery

There are various types of retina surgeries, each tailored to specific conditions. Some of the most common procedures include:

Vitrectomy: This is a surgical procedure where the vitreous gel (the clear, jelly-like substance inside the eye) is removed to access the retina and repair any damage. Vitrectomy is commonly used to treat retinal detachment, macular holes, and ERM.

Laser Photocoagulation: This minimally invasive procedure involves using a laser to seal or destroy abnormal blood vessels, such as those found in diabetic retinopathy, or to create a barrier around retinal tears to prevent detachment.

Scleral Buckling: This procedure is used to treat retinal detachment by placing a silicone band around the outside of the eye to gently push the wall of the eye against the detached retina, helping it reattach.

Finding a Specialist in Brisbane

Brisbane boasts several highly trained retinal specialists offering advanced surgical options. When choosing a surgeon, it's important to consider their experience and success rate with the specific type of retina surgery you require. Consulting with an ophthalmologist for an accurate diagnosis is the first step in determining if surgery is necessary and what type of procedure is best suited to your condition.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

The recovery process after retina surgery varies depending on the procedure performed and the individual's overall health. Patients may experience some discomfort, swelling, or blurred vision in the days following surgery. Cataract Eye Surgery Cost Brisbane Strict adherence to post-operative care instructions, such as using prescribed eye drops and avoiding certain activities, is critical for a successful recovery.

In some cases, patients may need to maintain a specific head position to promote proper healing, especially after a vitrectomy. Follow-up appointments with your surgeon are essential to monitor healing and ensure that the retina remains stable.

Cystoid macular edema

Cystoid macular edema (CME) after phacoemulsification can be effectively treated with topical steroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These treatments reduce inflammation and fluid accumulation in the macula, helping to restore visual acuity and prevent further complications. #CME #Phacoemulsification #TopicalSteroids #NSAIDs #RetinaImaging #retina #oftalmo #ophthalmology…

What Are the Key Signs of Diabetic Eye Problems?

Diabetes is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and one of its most serious complications involves the eyes. The term "diabetic eye problems" encompasses a range of vision-related issues that can arise from poorly managed blood sugar levels. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial to prevent irreversible eye damage. If you're based in Baner, seeking out specialized Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment in Baner could be a vital step in safeguarding your vision. In this blog, we'll explore the key signs of diabetic eye problems and the importance of Diabetic Eye Treatment.

Understanding Diabetic Eye Problems

Diabetic eye problems typically refer to a spectrum of eye conditions that can result from diabetes. The most common and severe among these is diabetic retinopathy, but it also includes diabetic macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma. These conditions are often asymptomatic in the early stages, making regular eye check-ups essential for those with diabetes.

Key Signs of Diabetic Retinopathy

1. Blurred Vision:

One of the earliest and most common symptoms of diabetic retinopathy is blurred vision. High blood sugar levels can cause the lens inside your eye to swell, creating temporary blurriness. Over time, if the blood vessels in the retina are damaged, this blurriness can become more persistent and severe.

2. Dark Spots or Floaters:

As diabetic retinopathy progresses, it can cause small blood vessels in the retina to bleed. This bleeding can lead to the appearance of dark spots or floaters in your vision. These floaters may drift in and out of your visual field, and while they might seem harmless

initially, they indicate underlying damage that requires immediate attention.

3. Difficulty Seeing at Night:

Many people with diabetic retinopathy report difficulty seeing in low light or at night. This issue, known as night blindness, occurs because the retina's ability to adapt to changes in light is compromised. If you notice that driving at night has become more challenging or that you need more light to see clearly, it could be a sign of diabetic eye problems.

4. Colors Appear Faded:

Another subtle but telling sign of diabetic eye issues is when colors seem less vibrant or faded. This change is often due to damage to the retina, which affects your ability to perceive colors accurately.

5. Vision Loss:

In advanced cases of diabetic retinopathy, patients may experience partial or complete vision loss. This can happen suddenly and is often a result of retinal detachment or significant bleeding within the eye. Vision loss is a medical emergency, and immediate Diabetic Eye Treatment is essential to prevent permanent blindness.

Other Diabetic Eye Problems

While diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye condition, there are other issues to be aware of:

1. Diabetic Macular Edema (DME):

DME occurs when fluid builds up in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. This leads to swelling and blurred vision. If left untreated, DME can lead to significant vision loss.

2. Cataracts:

People with diabetes are more likely to develop cataracts at a younger age. Cataracts cause the lens of the eye to become cloudy, leading to blurry vision and, if untreated, blindness.

3. Glaucoma:

Diabetes can also increase the risk of glaucoma, a condition characterized by increased pressure within the eye, which can damage the optic nerve. Glaucoma often develops slowly and can lead to peripheral vision loss.

Importance of Early Detection and Treatment

Early detection of diabetic eye problems is critical to preventing severe complications. Regular eye exams, especially if you have diabetes, can help catch these issues before they progress. If you're experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned, it's crucial to consult an eye specialist promptly. For those in Baner, specialized Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment in Baner offers comprehensive care tailored to manage and treat diabetic eye conditions effectively.

Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the condition. They can range from controlling blood sugar levels and using medications to more advanced interventions like laser surgery or injections to reduce retinal swelling.

Conclusion

Diabetic eye problems are a serious concern for anyone living with diabetes. Recognizing the key signs—blurred vision, floaters, night blindness, color changes, and vision loss—can help you seek timely Diabetic Eye Treatment and prevent long-term damage. If you’re in Baner and struggling with diabetes, prioritize regular eye check-ups and consider specialized treatments to protect your vision.

Sight Care Supplement Reviews

Introduction to Sight Care

Sight Care is marketed as a natural vision support formula designed to enhance eye health, protect against age-related vision decline, and improve overall eye function. The supplement is intended for people experiencing blurry vision, dry eyes, or other common eye health problems. It’s also promoted as a preventive measure against more serious eye conditions such as macular degeneration, cataracts, and glaucoma.

In a world where screen time is ever-increasing and the aging population is on the rise, supplements like Sight Care Reviews are gaining popularity. With promises of better focus, clearer vision, and long-term eye health benefits, it's no wonder that Sight Care has caught the attention of many.

The Importance of Eye Health

Before diving into the specifics of Sight Care, it’s crucial to understand why maintaining good eye health is essential. The eyes are sensitive organs prone to damage from environmental factors, aging, poor diet, and extended use of digital devices. Common vision problems include:

Blurry Vision: A frequent issue caused by refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism, often worsened by prolonged screen time.

Dry Eyes: Occurs when the eyes do not produce enough moisture, causing irritation, discomfort, and blurry vision.

Macular Degeneration: An age-related condition that affects the central part of the retina, leading to vision loss.

Cataracts: Clouding of the eye’s lens, causing blurry vision and difficulty seeing at night.

Glaucoma: A condition where increased pressure in the eye damages the optic nerve, potentially leading to blindness.

Addressing these conditions early on can make a significant difference in maintaining optimal vision. This is where Sight Care claims to play a preventive and protective role.

What is Sight Care?

Sight Care is a dietary supplement formulated with a blend of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and herbal extracts. The creators of Sight Care suggest that their product targets the root causes of poor vision and eye strain by nourishing the eyes from within.

The supplement is designed for adults of all ages, particularly those experiencing the onset of vision issues or looking for a proactive approach to maintain eye health as they age. While Sight Care is not a substitute for prescription medications or professional treatments for severe eye conditions, it is marketed as a natural, non-invasive way to support daily eye function.

Key Ingredients in Sight Care

The effectiveness of any supplement depends largely on its ingredients. Sight Care’s formula is a blend of natural components, each chosen for its potential to improve or support eye health. Below is a breakdown of some of the most notable ingredients found in Sight Care:

Lutein

Role in Eye Health: Lutein is a carotenoid that accumulates in the retina, particularly in the macula, where it acts as a protective shield against blue light. Studies suggest that lutein supplementation can reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and improve visual clarity.

Dosage: Research indicates that a daily intake of 6-20 mg of lutein may benefit eye health.

Zeaxanthin

Role in Eye Health: Zeaxanthin, another carotenoid, works alongside lutein to protect the eyes from oxidative stress and harmful light exposure. It’s known to enhance contrast sensitivity and reduce glare, making it beneficial for night vision and clarity.

Dosage: A recommended daily dosage is about 2-10 mg, which is often paired with lutein for maximum effect.

Bilberry Extract

Role in Eye Health: Bilberry is rich in anthocyanins, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Bilberry extract is often used to reduce eye fatigue, particularly in people who spend long hours staring at screens. Some studies suggest it may also improve night vision and circulation in the eyes.

Dosage: Standard dosages range from 80-160 mg of bilberry extract.

Zinc

Role in Eye Health: Zinc is essential for maintaining the health of the retina and supporting enzyme function in the eyes. It helps transport vitamin A from the liver to the retina, which is crucial for producing melanin, a protective pigment in the eyes.

Dosage: The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for zinc is 8-11 mg, but supplements may provide up to 25 mg per day for enhanced benefits.

Vitamin A

Role in Eye Health: Vitamin A plays a crucial role in maintaining the cornea, the outer layer of the eye. It also supports the function of rhodopsin, a protein in the eye that helps with low-light vision. Deficiency in vitamin A can lead to dry eyes and night blindness.

Dosage: The RDA for vitamin A is 700-900 mcg per day, but higher doses may be found in eye supplements.

Eyebright

Role in Eye Health: Eyebright is a traditional herbal remedy used to alleviate eye discomfort, inflammation, and irritation. It is believed to support overall eye health, although more research is needed to confirm its efficacy.

Quercetin

Role in Eye Health: Quercetin is a flavonoid with antioxidant properties that may protect the eyes from oxidative damage. It is also believed to support the integrity of blood vessels in the eyes, which could help prevent retinal damage.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Role in Eye Health: Omega-3s, particularly DHA, are crucial for maintaining the structure of the retina and reducing inflammation in the eyes. They are commonly recommended for reducing dry eye symptoms and supporting overall eye function.

How Does Sight Care Work?

Sight Care aims to work by addressing multiple aspects of eye health. The combination of antioxidants, carotenoids, and vitamins is designed to protect the eyes from oxidative stress, improve the function of the retina, and reduce the risk of age-related vision decline.

Oxidative Stress Reduction: Antioxidants like lutein, zeaxanthin, and quercetin help neutralize free radicals that can damage the eye’s delicate structures.

Blue Light Protection: Lutein and zeaxanthin form a protective barrier in the macula to filter harmful blue light, which is emitted by digital screens and sunlight.

Improved Circulation: Ingredients like bilberry extract and omega-3 fatty acids support healthy blood flow to the retina, ensuring that it receives the necessary nutrients and oxygen.

Moisture Retention: Omega-3s also play a role in maintaining the natural moisture levels in the eyes, reducing the symptoms of dry eye.

Potential Benefits of Sight Care

Enhanced Visual Clarity: Many of the ingredients in Sight Care Supplement particularly lutein and zeaxanthin, are known to improve the sharpness of vision and reduce the strain caused by prolonged screen use.

Reduced Eye Fatigue: Bilberry extract and quercetin may help alleviate the discomfort associated with eye strain and fatigue, especially for individuals who spend long hours working on computers.

Protection Against Age-Related Conditions: The antioxidant-rich formula of Sight Care offers a defense against oxidative damage, potentially lowering the risk of conditions like macular degeneration and cataracts.

Support for Night Vision: Ingredients like vitamin A and bilberry extract may improve night vision and contrast sensitivity, making it easier to see in low-light conditions.

Reduced Dry Eyes: Omega-3 fatty acids help maintain the moisture balance in the eyes, offering relief for those with dry or irritated eyes.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Sight Care is generally considered safe for most individuals, as it is composed of natural ingredients. However, some people may experience mild side effects such as:

Allergic Reactions: Individuals allergic to any of the ingredients in Sight Care should avoid the supplement.

Digestive Issues: Some users have reported mild gastrointestinal discomfort, which may be attributed to certain components like zinc or bilberry extract.

Overconsumption Risks: Exceeding the recommended dosage of vitamins, particularly vitamin A, can lead to toxicity. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and consult with a healthcare provider if needed.

Sight Care vs. Other Eye Health Supplements

When comparing Sight Care to other popular eye supplements on the market, several factors come into play, including ingredients, price, and overall effectiveness. Sight Care distinguishes itself with its comprehensive blend of antioxidants, carotenoids, and herbal extracts. However, other supplements may offer higher concentrations of certain key ingredients like lutein or zeaxanthin.

In terms of price, Sight Care falls within the mid-range for eye health supplements, making it accessible for most consumers while still offering a potent formula.

Gene therapy is an emerging treatment for both wet and dry macular degeneration. It requires fewer eye injections than standard treatments. Macular degeneration, also called age-related macular degeneration (AMD), affects your ability to see things straight ahead of you. This makes it difficult to perform daily activities like reading and driving. This progressive eye disorder is the most common cause of vision loss in people over age 65 in the United States. AMD occurs when the macula, a small area in the center of your retina, deteriorates. This leads to central vision loss, but your peripheral vision is usually not affected. There are two types of AMD: Dry macular degeneration: The most common type, dry AMD occurs when the retinal pigmented epithelial and photoreceptor cells on your macula degrade. It develops gradually and may progress to wet AMD. Wet macular degeneration: Abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina due to a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Wet AMD develops and progresses more rapidly than dry macular degeneration. The treatment for AMD depends on the type. Treatment generally involves antioxidant vitamins for dry AMD and anti-VEGF eye injections for wet AMD. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, anti-VEGF treatment stabilizes vision in 90% of people who receive it and improves vision in about one-third of them. There’s currently no cure for either dry or wet AMD. Gene therapy is a new and promising treatment that may target both dry and wet AMD. Although it may not cure AMD, gene therapy could eliminate the need for ongoing eye injections. How does gene therapy work to treat macular degeneration? Gene therapy for macular degeneration involves inserting a genetically modified adeno-associated virus (AAV) into your eyes’ retinal cells. AAV blocks VEGF to prevent the growth of abnormal blood vessels. AAV delivers therapeutic genes that interfere with the activity of retinal cells. The modified retinal cells can then begin producing their own anti-VEGF proteins. Unlike other AMD treatments that require a series of eye injections, with gene therapy, only one injection may be necessary. This is because the modified retinal cells can continuously produce therapeutic proteins on their own. How effective is gene therapy in treating macular degeneration? Although gene therapy is a new treatment currently in clinical trials, it shows promise for treating both dry and wet macular degeneration. More research is still needed to further determine the effectiveness and safety of gene therapy for AMD. Gene therapy effectiveness for dry macular degeneration Gene therapy for dry AMD reduces the overactive proteins in the retinal cells that may lead to holes in your eyes, called membrane attack complex (MAC). Participants in the following clinical trials experienced a slowing of the progression of the disease, with no adverse side effects: HMR59: This clinical trial by Hemera Biosciences inserts a protein that increases the production of the CD59 protein that prevents the formation of MACs. GT005: Conducted by Gyroscope Therapeutics, this clinical trial also prevents MACs from forming. It boosts complement factor I (CFI) proteins, which stop your immune system from attacking your retinal cells. Gene therapy effectiveness for wet macular degeneration Ongoing clinical trials are testing the effectiveness of the following gene therapies for wet AMD that block the activity of VEGF: Ixo-vec (ADVM-022): You can receive injections of the modified protein ADVM-022 into your retinal cells in a doctor’s office. In a clinical trial, many participants who previously needed monthly injections of other AMD drugs didn’t need another ADVM-022 injection for over 2 years. RGX-314: This gene therapy delivers AAV8, a protein similar to ranibizumab (Lucentis), an injectable drug that treats wet AMD. An AAVIATE clinical trial found that it had only mild adverse effects and reduced the number of injections needed by 66.

7% after three years. 4D-150: This involves injecting both an anti-VEGF protein and RNA interference (RNAi) into retinal cells. The need for follow-up injections was reduced by 96.7% overall, according to a PRISM clinical trial. Research summary Research on gene therapy for AMD is still in the early stages, but the findings so far are promising. In general, studies show the following: Gene therapy is well tolerated, with only mild to moderate side effects. Fewer injections are needed compared to traditional AMD treatment. Gene therapy helps prevent further vision loss. HEALTHLINE NEWSLETTER Get our Macular Degeneration Newsletter Improve your eye health with our macular degeneration newsletter.

What is the procedure for gene therapy for macular degeneration? In gene therapy, a doctor may inject genetically modified proteins into your retinal cells in one of the following ways: Intravitreal injection: An eye care professional uses a needle to inject the proteins into the vitreous cavity, the fluid between your lens and retina. This is usually painless and can take place during an outpatient visit. Subretinal injection: This procedure, which requires eye surgery, is becoming popular among researchers because it allows more precise targeting of the outer retina. Doctors inject proteins directly into the subretinal space, located between the photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layers. Suprachoroidal injection: Doctors inject proteins targeting the outer retina into the suprachoroidal space between the sclera and choroid. This relatively new procedure can take place in a doctor’s office. What are the risks of gene therapy for macular degeneration? In gene therapy clinical trials, 87% of participants reported only mild adverse effects. Most of the following potential risks are related to the surgical procedure rather than the gene therapy itself: eye inflammation triggered by an immune response to the genes post-operative subconjunctival hemorrhage (bleeding) eye irritation or pain reduced sharpness of vision Finding a clinical trial As of July 2024, seven AMD gene therapy clinical trials are recruiting participants in the United States, including the following: A phase 3 clinical study with 94 locations is evaluating RGX-314 for wet AMD. Participants must be between the ages of 50 and 88 and have had previous anti-VEGF eye injections. A phase 1 and 2 clinical study with eight locations is evaluating SKG0106 for wet AMD. Participants must be age 50 and older and have had previous anti-VEGF eye injections. A phase 1 and 2 clinical study with 26 locations is evaluating 4D-150 for wet AMD and recruiting people 50 years of age and over who’ve been diagnosed with macular choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to AMD. Frequently asked questions What is the newest treatment for macular degeneration? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the following injectable drugs in 2023 to slow the progression of geographic atrophy, an advanced stage of dry AMD: Izervy (avacincaptad pegol): This drug blocks complement C5, a protein that may worsen dry AMD. Syfovre (pegcetacoplan): The first FDA-approved drug for dry AMD, it also blocks complement protein C5. How close are we to a cure for macular degeneration? Researchers are making rapid and significant progress in developing effective treatments for AMD. Emerging treatments such as gene therapy and stem cell therapy may lead to a cure in the next several years. Is there a gene for macular degeneration? Although genetic factors may increase the risk of developing AMD, a single gene does not lead to this disease. Studies have identified more than 30 genes with possible links to AMD. Variations in the following two genes in particular may put you more at risk for developing AMD:

complement cascade genes on chromosome 1 ARMS2/HTRA genes on chromosome 10 Takeaway While gene therapy is a relatively new treatment for macular degeneration, the research conducted to date suggests it effectively reduces the need for ongoing eye injections without adverse effects. Gene therapy does not, however, cure AMD. Further research is necessary to improve the effectiveness of gene therapy and to better determine its long-term effects.
