February 2025
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the leading cause of blindness among older Americans, but new treatments have changed the course of this disease over the last 10 years, helping make ARMD more manageable.
During ARMD Awareness Month in February, the American Academy of Ophthalmology is reminding people with ARMD that they can save their vision thanks to recent treatment advances, but early detection is a critical first step.
Our free COPE-accredited CE course provides an overview of the multiple subtypes of ARMD, including dry, intermediate and wet ARMD, and geographic atrophy. It explores existing and emerging therapies for ARMD subtypes, as well as their efficacy and safety profiles.

Bryan and Bradford Manning were diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a form of macular degeneration, when they were children. They founded Two Blind Brothers and partnered with L’Amy America to manufacture sunglasses on twoblindbrothers.com, donating 100% of their profits to organizations like Foundation Fighting Blindness. L’Amy America gives back 10% off all frames purchased from the 2BB collection, and partners with Bosma Enterprise, a non-profit organization providing meaningful employment for people with vision loss, to do the kitting for the sunglasses.
If you’re interested in obtaining the optical collection for your practice, contact L’Amy America at 800-243-6350.
