Abstract

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of vision loss in the elderly population of the western world. Identification and perfect knowledge of the risk factors is of particular importance not only for the understanding of the disorder, but also for the treatment and the prevention of the disease. Recent advances in the identification of its genetic and environmental components are reviewed.
