Macular Degeneration
Macular Degeneration occurs when the central area of the retina, called the Macular is damaged most commonly due to age. The disease causes progressive, painless loss of central vision, affecting the ability to see fine detail, drive, read and recognise faces. Although there is no cure, there are treatment options that can slow down the disease progression, depending on the stage and type of the disease (wet or dry). The earlier the disease is detected, the more vision the patient is likely to retain.
