Macular Degeneration
Macular
degeneration is
a common condition that develops as people age. However, it affects
the ability to see clearly. Patients will have blurry vision,
difficulty reading, trouble driving, or a hard time recognizing
faces. The macula represents the central
part
of the eye which focuses on objects directly in front of you.
A
"dry" form of the disease causes dimming and blurry vision in the central region. In the "wet" form, the symptoms
appear very quickly and can decompensate faster causing severe vision
loss.
The
exact causes of macular degeneration are not known. There are vitamin
supplements that may help to prevent the severity of this disease.
However, you should discuss with your ophthalmologist and have a
proper eye exam to prevent any vision problems in the future.
