Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a painless eye condition that causes you to lose central vision, usually in both eyes, which makes; reading difficult, colours appear less vibrant and faces can be hard to recognise. AMD affects more than 600,000 people in the UK and is the leading cause of vision loss. According to the US National Eye Institute: ‘By 2050, the estimated number of people with AMD in the US is expected to more than double from 2.07 million to 5.44 million. White Americans will continue to account for the majority of cases. However, Hispanics will see the greatest rate of increase, with a nearly six-fold rise in the number of expected cases from 2010 to 2050.’ In addition, as AMD is more prevalent the older one becomes, as women generally have a longer life expectancy than men, they are therefore more likely to develop AMD. In 2010, 65% of AMD cases were in women compared with 35% in men. There are two main types – ‘wet AMD’ and ‘dry AMD’ Researcher Dr Johan Basuki, from Australia's government-backed CSIRO, is quoted in the article: "The idea is to develop a 'drug reservoir' that can be implanted in the eye and then use visible light to trigger the drug that is embedded in the hydrogel ……. To do that we are using gold nanoparticles which have been known as a safe, inert, non-reactive component in the biomedical field." This Gold nanotechnology could help reduce the number of injections needed to treat AMD and whilst further research is necessary before human trials are considered, tests on rabbits have shown excellent results. The reason we mention this is to draw to your attention that like silver, gold too is being applied to medicinal treatments and may, albeit sometime in the future, become an important demand consideration.
