Summary: Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of legal blindness among elderly over 65 years of age. Pharmacological treatment, photocoagulation or photodynamic therapy can only delay disease progression. The new invasive methods of treatment offer not only the perspective for visual function preservation but also the chance for central vision restoring. The authors describe surgical techniques used in AMD treatment: TPA and gas injection, neovascular membranes removal, retinal pigment epithelium translocation, limited and 360 degree macula rotation.

Keywords: AMD, surgical treatment, macula rotation, retinal pigment transplantation.
