Macular Degeneration | Wet vs Dry | Risk Factors, Pathophysiology, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

Macular Degeneration (Age-Related Macular Degeneration) is an ocular condition involving degeneration of the macula, which is involved in central vision. There are many factors that increase the risk of this condition including increasing age and smoking. There are two types of macular degeneration: Dry and Wet. In this lesson, we discuss all of the risk factors, the pathophysiology of Dry and Wet macular degeneration, along with signs and symptoms, how it’s diagnosed and how it’s treated.

I was diagnosed with Wet Macular Degeneration about 5 months ago when I had cataract surgery on my right eye. I have since been getting monthly Avastin injections. I didn't notice any improvement until I started taking Spirulina 6 weeks ago. Not only do I have improved vision but the cataract in my left eye has become clearer.

Much thanks, this is very informative. Along with the genetic component is high "good" HDL say above1.65 mmol/L. My HDL cholesterol is a whopping 2.27 mmol/L (88 mg/dL?) hence dry AMD. Whether the HDL is disfunctional is a mystery.

I have an early stage of Dry AMD having a hole in my Macula in my right eye. I am 66, can i avoid surgery? Can this be healed with medicine, such as pills?. thank you

I have both wet and dry. I also have catracts. Catracts can cause vision loss. But Doctors told me Amd was my main problem. I still think it both. So why not remove the catracts to help vision

I believe the right terminology is LIFESTYLE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION or perhaps DRUG-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION and not age otherwise, we're all gonna be blind...
