My interest is because i developed the severe form ("wet") MD recently, aged 54. I noted in the UK Observer 21 November that this disorder, which used to be rare in people under 60, is becoming epidemic in the UK. There are concerns that this will lead to a million blind people within 15 years, affecting those as young as 30. My retinal damage is on the side (left) that I hold my cellphone. I realise this is speculative, but the disorder is marked by rapid growth of abnormal blood vessels (which form a membrane, clouding central vision) and I noticed that microwaves have been found to speed up cell division. Do you have any leads? Do you know if WHO EMR research includes eye disorders?
