Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is one of the most common eye diseases treated by the doctors at Marietta Eye Clinic. Macular degeneration is associated with aging. It can destroy sharp central vision and is the leading cause of legal blindness among people over the age of 50 in the western world.
In some individuals, tiny dot-like deposits, known as drusen, slowly accumulate beneath the macula. While these deposits usually do not cause visual loss directly, they indicate that a person is at risk for developing further problems with the macula. Atrophic or thin areas can develop in the macula, which can lead to visual loss in the "dry" form of macular degeneration.
In some patients, abnormal blood vessels may develop under the macula leading to the "wet" form of macular degeneration. If these vessels can be identified at an early stage, it may be possible to seal them with a laser treatment, injection of new medications developed for wet macular degeneration or other treatments. If you notice any new distortion or visual changes, it is critical to contact your eye care provider immediately.
