Retinal diseases can lead to vision loss and impairment, and retinal drugs aim to address or manage these conditions to prevent further deterioration of vision. AMD is a common retinal disease that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision. It is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. This condition occurs in people with diabetes and can cause damage to blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems and, in severe cases, blindness. RVO is a blockage of the veins that drain blood from the retina, causing vision problems due to reduced blood flow.
