Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye condition that primarily affects individuals over the age of 50, leading to the deterioration of central vision due to damage to the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. AMD is classified into two main types: dry (non-neovascular) and wet (neovascular). Dry AMD involves the gradual breakdown of light-sensitive cells in the macula, often indicated by the presence of drusen (yellow deposits). Wet AMD is characterized by the growth of abnormal blood vessels beneath the retina, which leak fluid or blood, causing rapid vision loss. This market includes the market for marketed biologics and biosimilars along with Phase 3 molecules for the treatment of AMD.
