Summary

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the link between age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD) and coronary artery disease (CAD). Age-related macular degeneration is a medical condition which may result in blurred or no vision in the center of vision. Coronary artery disease is a blockage of one or more arteries that supply blood to the heart. The study will specifically look at the macular changes that occur in the retina, which is the sensory membrane that lines the inner surface at the back of the eyeball, and the relationship between coronary heart disease and the risk factors.
