About a year and a half ago, my wife was showing symptoms of early-onset macular degeneration, and it led to a rabbit hole of me searching for treatments, and I remember the earlier stages of this being discussed.

While it turned out that my wife's issue was (fortunately) something less severe, it still makes me happy to see that this treatment has had some success.

I'm really curious to see what the statistics of early-onset macular degeneration will be in 30-40 years, when a large portion of the population will have been looking at screens 10+ hours a day, for 30+ years. I suspect humans current eye-usage habits will affect the numbers.

results in this area of the field can't come fast enough!
