ABSTRACT:
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a chronic, multifactorial degenerative eye disease considered one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Despite numerous studies, there is no consensus regarding the predominant pathological mechanism leading to photoreceptor loss. AMD is a disease characterized by molecular and cellular abnormalities that ultimately lead to photoreceptor degeneration. This review article presents data from international and Russian researchers studying the pathophysiological mechanisms of the development and progression of photoreceptor degeneration, outlines scientific developments regarding modern therapeutic approaches to correcting these disorders, and presents promising approaches to drug-based neuroretinoprotection that require confirmation in clinical trials.

Key words: age-related macular degeneration, neuroprotection, retinoprotection, peptide bioregulators, antioxidants, ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate.
