Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration, also known as macular degeneration, is an eye disease. It is a degenerative process of the yellow pigment layer of the retina, developing due to degeneration of its outer layers. Occurs due to various reasons. The symptom of this disease is a sudden or gradual deterioration of central vision. Changes in the fundus may occur in one eye, in both eyes, or be completely absent. An anteroposterior or thread-like lesion of yellow color with blurred edges and small size appears.

However, all symptoms appear in patients over 50 years of age. Patients develop various defects in color perception, and gradually lose vision. Diagnosed based on the results of retinal biomicroscopy using peripheral fundoscopy. In case of minor lesions, optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography are indicated. When prescribing treatment, an intravitreous course is carried out

Macular degeneration

Macular degeneration is a pathological process characterized by the gradual destruction of visual pigment in the macula (macula) of the retina. As a result of this process, changes occur in the structure and function of the retina, which can lead to decreased vision, color blindness, and impaired perception of light. There are many different causes of macular degeneration, including hereditary factors, eye diseases, and certain medications. Symptoms of degeneration can range from blurred perception of information to complete blindness. Treatment for macular degeneration may include medications including angiogenesis inhibitors, anti-VEGF injections, and topical and general laser therapy. In many cases, eye surgery is performed. However, the success of treating degeneration depends on how quickly it is detected and steps taken to treat it.
