MACULAR DEGENERATION
MACULAR DEGENERATION
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye condition that affects older adults, causing progressive damage to the macula—the part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision. AMD can make tasks like reading, driving, and recognizing faces challenging.
There Are Two Types of AMD:
- Dry AMD: The more common form, characterized by gradual vision loss due to thinning of the macula
- Wet AMD: Less common but more severe, caused by abnormal blood vessels leaking fluid or blood into the retina, leading to rapid vision loss.
While there is no cure for AMD, treatments like intravitreal injections for wet AMD, lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, and low-vision aids can help slow progression of the disease and maintain quality of life.
Early diagnosis through routine eye exams is crucial for effective management.
