Could plants be used to treat macular disease?

Current treatments for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) have been life changing for many, helping to maintain vision. However, not all patients respond well to anti-VEGF injections, highlighting the need for alternative treatments. Professor Dulcie Mulholland and PhD student Elisha Griffin have been exploring whether 'homoisoflavonoids', found in rare hyacinth plants, could help prevent abnormal blood vessel growth in the macula.

Their research could lead the way for a new type of wet AMD treatment, potentially available as an eye drop or tablet, offering a more affordable, accessible, and less invasive alternative to injections.
