Dry age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is a degenerative disease affecting the macular region of the retina,and aging changes in retinal and choroidal tissues are an important factor in AMD pathogenesis.Cell aging is an irre-versible state of cell cycle arrest triggered by certain physiological processes or stressful injury,affecting a variety of physi-ological and pathological processes.An increasing number of studies have shown that cell aging plays an essential role in the occurrence and development of AMD.This paper reviews the mechanisms of cell aging and its relationship with dry AMD,aiming to provide new ideas for the treatment of dry AMD.
