Macular Degeneration

Symptoms of macular degeneration: Macular degeneration is a matter of the eye part controlling your most acute central vision. This is a group of diseases that causes blindness. Since the brain does not empty this place, learn to fill it with damaged macular cell damage. In most cases people did not tell their doctor (ophthalmologist) until they come forward. There are two kinds of macular degeneration. Juvenile macular degeneration affects the central vision of infants.

'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.

Age-related macular degeneration is one of the most important causes of blindness in the elderly. As the population ages, the number of people affected will increase 2. There are two age-related macular degeneration. Geographic atrophy is a severely segmented pigmented area caused by atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium and neovascular degeneration occurs when new blood vessels grow under the retinal pigment epithelium leading to bleeding and scar formation. Age-related macular degeneration is diagnosed in people over the age of 50 years, if there is no other obvious cause of degeneration.

Age-related macular degeneration occurs when glass sputum (just a little yellow particles with cholesterol as the main component) begins to accumulate behind the eye, hurts the photoreceptor cells and reduces vision. This is called dry macular degeneration and is the most common form of this disease. The disease usually progresses slowly, but there is no known cure. Since macular degeneration is known to be an independent risk factor for stroke and coronary artery disease, low DHEA levels in macular degeneration can also explain its association with heart disease. In a study conducted by Australian scientists, 14 cases of macular degeneration predicted a 5-fold increase in risk of cardiovascular death and a 10-fold increase in risk of stroke death. Age-related macular degeneration predicts doubling of cardiovascular mortality after controlling traditional cardiovascular risk factors
