With the deep research of wARMD risk factors by domestic and foreign scholars, the prevention and control of wARMD has become an important research topic. Therefore, by studying the risk factors of wARMD and taking effective preventive measures, it is expected to reduce the incidence of wARMD and delay the development of the disease.
