New Retina Radio Journal Club w/ VBS: Does Metformin Reduce AMD Risk?

Moderator Rebecca Soares, MD; Matt Starr, MD; and Nikisha Kothari, MD

Show Description +

Does metformin use reduce the risk of developing AMD in non-diabetic patients? Moderator Rebecca Soares, MD, and panelists Matt Starr, MD, and Nikisha Kothari, MD, review a decade-long case control-control study assessing risk of AMD in non-diabetic patients who have been taking metformin for any reason. They ask whether the study's blindspots undercut its findings, and speculate what other questions further research could answer. Editorially Independent Content Sponsored by Genentech.
