AMD

La AMD (age-related macular degeneration) is an eye condition affecting the central part of the retina called the macula. It is the most common form of vision loss in older people and can lead to a significant reduction in central vision, affecting the ability to read, drive and see details clearly.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is caused by deterioration of the photoreceptor cells and blood vessels in the macula, which can lead to dark spots or distortions in the visual field. There are two forms main forms of AMD: the dry, which is the most common form and progresses slowly, and the wet, which is rarer but more serious, as it can cause rapid loss of vision.

There is no cure for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), but treatments are available to help manage symptoms and slow disease progression. Treatment options include medicines for the wet form, intravitreal injections, and assistive vision devices such as special glasses or visual aids. It is important to see an ophthalmologist regularly pour surveiller la progression de la DMLA et recevoir des conseils sur les options de traitement les plus appropriées.

Si vous souffrez de ces symptômes ou pensez être atteint de DMLA humide (exsudative) avec une baisse de vision ou des déformations récentes, it is important to consult your ophthalmologist promptly en appelant son secrétariat
