Can wet AMD improve with stem cell therapy?

Based on current information, stem cell therapy is not mentioned as an established or approved treatment option for wet AMD. The available treatments focus on managing the condition and slowing its progression rather than reversing damage.

Current treatment options for wet AMD include:

* Anti-VEGF injections (like Eylea, Avastin, Beovu, Vabysmo, and Lucentis) that block abnormal blood vessel growth
* Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using light-activated medication
* Laser photocoagulation surgery to destroy abnormal blood vessels

While these treatments can't cure wet AMD or restore vision already lost, they can help stabilize vision and prevent further damage. Some people even experience vision improvements with anti-VEGF injections.

It's important to discuss any new or experimental treatments with your eye doctor, who can guide you on evidence-based options that are right for your specific situation.
