Macular Degeneration in Two Forms

Two forms of macular degeneration 2 Macular degeneration is an eye disease that gradually leads to loss of human central vision. Approximately 75 million Americans suffer from blindness associated with this disease (All About Vision 1). The main cause of blindness in people over the age of 60 is macular degeneration. There are two types (National Institute of Ophthalmology 1). Risk factors for both wet and dry disease are similar, but symptoms and treatment are different.

There are two forms of macular degeneration, dry type and wet type. In the dry (non-exudative) form of AMD, cell debris called drusen accumulates between the retina, which can cause retinal detachment. Dry macular degeneration causes blurred vision and makes it impossible to read, drive, or recognize faces. Wet (angiogenic) macular degeneration is usually a chronic ocular disease caused by abnormal blood vessels that leak fluids and blood at the center of the field of view; this type of AMD accounts for 10% of all AMD cases. For those who are wet AMD their sight has been distorted and the lines appear to be curved or curved

'What is macular degeneration? There are two main types - wet macular degeneration and dry macular degeneration. According to reports, most cases in the world are dry macular degeneration and in all cases of dry macular degeneration only wet macular degeneration. Macular degeneration occurs mainly in people over the age of 50 and is normally diagnosed at the stage of progression. Macular degeneration manifests mainly in three stages. They are early AMD (age-related macular degeneration), intermediate AMD and progressive AMD. At the initial stage, it is difficult to diagnose macular degeneration because there are no obvious symptoms other than yellow deposits beneath the retina. This is the reason why we have to conduct eye checks on a regular basis. There is no obvious symptom at the intermediate stage. The only way to detect macular degeneration at this stage is by eye examination.

There are two kinds of macular degeneration. Juvenile macular degeneration affects the central vision of infants. It occurs in the macula or in the center of the retina. The retina is a place to distinguish by reading color. The main symptom of adolescent macular degeneration is a loss of vision. Many of the symptoms of macular degeneration are varied. Only one eye may lose sight, but the other eye is perfectly normal. The vision is declining. This means that the macula does not provide the clearest field of view. The retina can be used in the surroundings, but it is not as sensitive as the macula. There is also visual distortion. Retinal damage can cause visual variation due to stretching. Other symptoms include blind spots, quirky observations, light and shadows, photophobia, better night vision, color vision, peripheral vision sensitivity, hallucination, depth perception.
