Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a progressive eye condition that affects the macula, a small but critical part of the retina responsible for central vision. It is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults. 
 
There are two main types of macular degeneration:
 
Dry AMD: This is the more common form, characterized by the gradual breakdown of light-sensitive cells in the macula. It progresses slowly and may cause blurry central vision or blind spots.
   
Wet AMD:  Less common but more severe, wet AMD involves abnormal blood vessel growth beneath the retina. These vessels leak fluid and blood, damaging the macula rapidly and leading to sudden loss of central vision.
 
While there is no cure for AMD, early detection and management can help slow its progression and preserve remaining vision. Treatment options include medications, laser therapy, and in some cases, dietary supplements. Regular eye exams are crucial for monitoring and managing macular degeneration effectively.
