What causes macular degeneration in the eyes? Have there been any advances in curing this condition?

Many forms of macular degeneration may be linked to aging and related deterioration of eye tissue crucial for good vision. Duke University and other researchers have noted a strong association between development of the eye disease and presence of a variant of a gene known as complement factor H (CFH). This gene deficiency has been found to be associated with almost half of all potentially blinding cases of macular degeneration.
There is as yet no outright cure for macular degeneration, but some treatments may delay its progression or even improve vision....... Source(s): http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions...
