Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) is a disorder that affects approximately 2-3% of the population all over the world above 50 Years of age. In this disorder, the photoreceptors around and in Macula (the most accurate visual focus area) degenerate leading to visual accuracy problem. At present there is no definitive treatment for this problem to cure this. Rather there are palliative measures to stop the progress of the disease. We have tied up with M/S Aditya Jyot Eye Hospital, Mumbai to jointly research a cell therapeutics based solution for the ARMD.
