A Case Report on Significant Improvement of Age-Related Macular Degeneration with Melanin Precursors (QIAPI 1®)

Abstract

Age-related macular degeneration is the first cause of blindness in cold countries in the last 70 years ago or more. Macular Degeneration is caused by the deterioration of the central portion of the retina, the inside back layer of the eye that records the images we see and sends them via the optic nerve from the eye to the brain. In spite expensive therapeutics strategies like intraocular injections, so far, the incidence and prevalence of ARMD cannot be improved significantly. In this case report, we demonstrate that melanin is a fundamental part of macular biology and once is attended the recovery both anatomical and functional is significant.
