Yes: Prevention is the key, if you have it take vitamins specifically for the eyes , eat your green leafy vegetables and protect your eyes from the ultra violet rays from the sun.

Two types: 1. Dry age-related macular degeneration: treated with areds2 vitamins, tobacco cessation. 2. Wet age-related macular degeneration: intravitreal injections of anti-vegf molecules like avastin, lucentis, (ranibizumab) or eylea. See a retina specialist.

There are 2 kinds: Wet and dry. You need to see a retina specialist, ask your eye doctor for a referral. The dry type is less treatable, the wet one has options. The most optimistic seems to be intraocular injections of drugs like bevasizumab, avastin (bevacizumab).
