Macular degeneration

Topic

Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a medical condition that typically affects older adults and results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field. It is caused by damage to the macula of the retina, making it difficult to recognize faces, read, or drive. The condition occurs in both "dry" and "wet" forms, with the latter involving abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage.
