Age-Related Macular Degeneration

The Low Vision Support Group hosts Dr. Roger A. Goldberg from Bay Area Retina Associates to discuss the future of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Dr. Goldberg's presentation covers what's new in the diagnosis and management of AMD, what we know about photobiomodulation (light therapy) as a treatment, what clinical trials are available, and also information on stem cells, gene therapy, surgically implanted electrode chips and more. A native of Boston, Dr. Goldberg graduated from both college and medical school at Yale University. He completed his residency in Miami at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, the nation's top eye hospital and residency-training program. Dr. Goldberg's surgical interests include macular surgery, complex retinal detachment repair, and complications of cataract surgery. (2026)
