New pharmacological application of saffron
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of visual impairment in individuals over the age of 55 years in developed countries. AMD is a degenerative disease of the macula characterized in the early stage by large soft drusen and hyper/hypopigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and a moderate loss of central vision (age-related maculopathy, following the International Classification, Leibowitz H et al. 1980).
