Association of sildenafil use with age-related macular degeneration: a retrospective cohort study by Nicola Jaime Adderley, Krishnarajah Nirantharakumar, Anuradhaa Subramanian, Alastair K Denniston, Wen Hwa Lee, Ji Eun Diana Han, Jesse Coker

“…Limited studies suggest phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, such as sildenafil, may prevent AMD by increasing retinal blood flow. This study explores the potential association between sildenafil use and AMD risk in men with erectile dysfunction using UK data.Methods and analysis Using the UK’s IQVIA Medical Research Data, the study analysed 31 575 men prescribed sildenafil for erectile dysfunction and no AMD history from 2007 to 2015, matched with a comparator group of 62 155 non-sildenafil users in a 1:2 ratio, over a median follow-up of approximately three years.Results The primary outcome was the incidence of AMD in the two groups. …”
