Macular degeneration is an age-related eye disease for which there is no known treatment to date that has been shown to be effective at treating or preventive the onset or progression of the disease. Current treatment of non- exudative (dry form) macular degeneration is limited to early diagnosis and careful followup, while symptomatic treatment of exudative (wet form) macular degeneration includes laser photocoagulation therapy, surgery, low dose radiation (teletherapy), and anti-oxidant or anti-inflammatory therapies. The present invention relates to a new method for treating or preventing the onset or progression of macular degeneration, comprising periodic administration of a glutathione (GSH) enhancing agent alone or in conjunction with at least one of an anti-oxidant or an anti-inflammatory therapy, and possibly in addition to one or more of the symptomatic treatments mentioned above.

La dégénérescence maculaire est une maladie des yeux liée au vieillissement pour laquelle n'existe à ce jour aucun traitement connu efficace susceptible d'en traiter ou d'en prévenir l'apparition ou l'évolution. Le traitement actuel de la dégénérescence maculaire non exsudative (forme sèche) se limite à un diagnostic précoce et à un suivi attentif, tandis que le traitement symptomatique de la dégénérescence maculaire exsudative (forme humide) comprend la thérapie par photocoagulation au laser, la chirurgie, les rayonnements à faible dose (téléthérapie) et les thérapies par anti-oxyxdants ou anti-inflammatoires. La présente invention concerne un procédé nouveau visant à traiter ou à prévenir l'apparition ou l'évolution de la dégénérescence maculaire, consistant à administrer périodiquement un agent stimulateur du glutathion (GSH), seul ou associé à au moins une thérapie par anti-oxydants ou anti-inflammatoires, et éventuellement en complément d'un ou de plusieurs des traitements symptomatiques mentionnés ci-dessus.
