**4. Conclusion**

There are many potential therapeutic options for AMD. New treatment options for dry AMD that slow disease progression or re-establish retinal cells are becoming a reality. For wet AMD, new drugs that could lead to a longer half-life in the vitreous, lower costs, and more potent anti-angiogenesis activity, should be approved soon. With the increase of population longevity, AMD incidence and prevalence will most probably increase, and these therapies may reduce both the societal and individual treatment burden. Although they are in the earlier clinical trial phases, the authors consider that the cell-based therapies for dry AMD and gene therapy for wet AMD are the more promising therapies for the future because they tend to correct the source's problem. The new COVID vaccines also represent a significant step in this area, and these novel technologies may be future treatments for many other diseases.
