Common HIV drugs may prevent macular degeneration, a major cause of vision loss

Study Finds
Common HIV drugs may prevent macular degeneration, a major cause of vision loss
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Sometimes solutions come from the most unexpected of sources. Researchers at the University of Virginia report a common drug usually used to treat HIV may be able to help stop one of the leading causes of blindness around the globe. Scientists uncovered the connection thanks to a major discovery which calls into question modern science’s fundamental beliefs regarding DNA.
Medical professionals call these drugs Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) and researchers believe they can help treat dry macular degeneration, a very common cause of blindness. These results are especially puzzling considering the fact that dry macular degeneration isn’t caused by a virus like HIV. ....

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Thereâs new hope for people suffering from vision loss or dry macular degeneration thanks to drugs used to treat HIV.
âThis is a huge unmet medical need. There are no approved treatments for dry macular degeneration in America or anywhere.

HIV Drugs May Be Repurposed for Blindness
Abstract Security Iris or Retina Scanner being used on an Intense Blue Human Eye, Macro
February 2, 2021
Blindness due to age-related dry macular degeneration (AMD) robs over 200 million people worldwide of being able to do the simplest tasks they used to take for granted, such as driving or playing with their grandkids. Currently, there is no approved treatment for AMD.
A group of drugs used to treat HIV that block DNA synthesis in the cytoplasm can be repurposed to treat an advanced form of AMD called geographic atrophy (GA), a new study suggests. The findings were published in the journal, ....
