Purpose: To assess whether the serum levels of mannose-binding lectin of the lectin complement pathway are associated with age-related macular degeneration.
Methods: Patients with age-related macular degeneration and age-matched controls underwent full ophthalmologic examination and optical coherence tomography. Using a time-resolved immunofluorometric assay, blood samples were evaluated to determine the serum mannose-binding lectin levels.
