Kim JH, et al. - In this retrospective, observational study, researchers analyzed 1099 eyes of 1099 subjects to assess age-related disparities in the prevalence of subtypes of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). They classified neovascular AMD cases into 3 categories viz, typical neovascular AMD, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), and type 3 neovascularization. They also categorized the candidates according to their ages ie, > 50 and < 60 years, ≥ 60 and < 70 years, ≥ 70 and < 80 years, and ≥ 80 years. They observed 25.0% and 75.0% of candidates in age group > 50 and < 60 years diagnosed with typical neovascular AMD and PCV. Similarly, they found associations of the incidence of AMD and PCV with different age groups.
