For Age-related Macular Degeneration, get Retina laser treatment from Retina Specialist at Neoretina. It commonly occurs after the age of 60 and gradually destroys sharp and central vision.

As the name suggests it is a disease associated with aging . This disease gradually destroys sharp and central vision which is essential for seeing objects clearly or in detail. This is because AMD affects macula (central part of retina) which has the keenest visual potential.
AMD causes painless loss of vision. The risk for development of macular degeneration increases with age. Other proposed risk factors for the disease include smoking, obesity, family history, excessive sunlight exposure etc.
In the early stages of macular degeneration the transport of nutrients and wastes by the RPE slows down. These wastes accumulate under the retina to form yellow deposits called drusen. These drusen are identified on examination.
