A Provocative AMD Case

Nancy Holekamp, MD

Show Description +

Although there is no approved treatment for patients with dry AMD at this time, several treatment options exist for patients with wet AMD. No therapy can restore vision in an eye with scarring, so the key to effective treatment involves early detection. Nancy M. Holekamp, MD, shares her experience managing a provocative case—a patient with both exudative and nonexudative AMD.
