I'm not sure where you got that information and I'm not doubting you but why am I finding that the US is researching it? For example;
"Yes, the United States is researching peptide-based eye drops for treating eye diseases like dry AMD. Peptide-based eye drops are a promising treatment option because they can be delivered non invasively and can be more effective than small-molecule drugs."

investigated the use of a Fas-blocking peptide administered via eye drops. This research demonstrated that the peptide could reach the retina and mitigate degeneration by modulating inflammatory cytokines and inhibiting Fas-mediated apoptosis in animal models. The findings suggest potential therapeutic applications for dry AMD, though further studies are needed to assess its efficacy in humans.

Additionally, the National Science Foundation awarded a grant for the development of a synthetic peptide, ACT1, aimed at treating AMD. This research focuses on the ocular delivery of ACT1, highlighting the interest in peptide-based therapies for this condition.

These studies underscore the active pursuit of peptide-based treatments for dry AMD within the U.S. research community.
