MACULAR DEGENERATION.

• It is a group of degenerative retinal diseases that occur as people age. This is a major cause of vision loss in the elderly. The world's population is now aging, and it has been found to be a public health problem. More than half (54%) of retinal degeneration causes blindness.The optic nerve is often found in people over the age of 50, so it is often called Age-related Macular degeneration or AMD.

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF OPTIC NERVE CENTER.

• Dry AMD is found to be around 90 percent of slow vision loss. This group of neurons in the center of the macula reduces vision ability and slowly. Some cases may develop into Wet AMD (Wet AMD) so Patients with significantly reduced vision should be examined by an ophthalmologist.
• Wet retinal degeneration occurs between 10-15 percent. This group of vision loss is a major cause of blindness. Blindness is caused by abnormal blood vessels growing under the retina and RPE layer walls, which are fragile and easily broken, mid-devastated, and rapid and acute vision loss.Patients with acute vision should see an ophthalmologist immediately, which can treat vision better than it has been for a long time.

RISK FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF CENTRAL RETINAL DISEASE ARE AS FOLLOWS :

• Age more common in people over 50.
• Genetics found that 50 percent of patients will have a family history.
• Race, gender, disease incidence is higher in whites. and more female than male.
• Cigarettes. There is evidence that smoking There is a chance of developing this disease 10 years earlier than people who are not up to 10 years, especially smokers with a family history. There will be a chance to increase up to 30 times.

EARLY SYMPTOMS OF CENTRAL MACULAR DEGENERATION.

• There are symptoms of distortion, symptoms of seeing straight lines as broken lines.
• Have visual impairment or reading books that require more detailed work than usual.
• There is no central part of the image.
• There are symptoms of vision needing more light, symptoms of decreased vision, symptoms of seeing off center lines, symptoms of decreased color vision.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF DEDELOPING A DISEASE.

• Undergo an examination of medicine and the retina.
• Refrain from smoking.
• Control body weight and exercise.
• Eat antioxidant foods and zinc.
• Protect eyes from sunlight.
• Eat all 5 food groups.

TREATMENT OF RETINAL CENTRIPETAL DISEASE.

• For treatment In wet central macular degeneration (Wet AMD), treatment aims to to destroy new blood vessels which breaks easily causing bleeding or reduce visibility in the present There is no treatment that will provide vision. Can come back as good as before when treating to help slow vision loss.
