The etiology and pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are unclear and difficult fot treatment. Some genetic research evidences in recent years have shown that the relationship between lipid metabolism-related gene polymorphism and AMD is statistically significant; it has also been found that blood lipid levels are related to AMD, and lipid-lowering drugs may have the effect of delaying the development of AMD in clinically. Abnormal lipid metabolism may play an important role in the occurrence and development of AMD. Clarifying the role of lipid metabolism in the occurrence and development of diseases will help reveal the pathogenesis of diseases and promote early diagnosis, monitoring and prevention of diseases, and provide an entry point for treatment.
