Causes of Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is a multifactorial disease that comes about through environmental effects, including genetics, smoking, and malnutrition. There are two primary forms of macular degeneration: dry and wet.

Dry Macular Degeneration

Wet Macular Degeneration

Wet macular degeneration is less frequent but a more serious condition due to the uncontrolled growth of new vessels under the retina’s layer. These vessels may leak blood or fluid, resulting in sudden and extreme loss of vision.
