Macular Degeneration Treatments in Turkey

Macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of severe vision loss in elderly individuals. It happens when the macula (central portion of the retina) deteriorates. Because the ailment only develops during aging, it is referred as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Although AMD is never a completely blinding disorder, it may be a source of relevant visual disability.

Two Main Types of AMD:

Dry form. It is characterized by the occurrence of drusen or yellow deposits found in the macula. When the yellow deposits increase and grow in size, this may lead to a distortion of vision (or dimming) that elderly individuals find noticeable when they read.

Wet form. It is characterized by the growth of abnormal blood vessels which eventually form a scar from the choroid underneath the central portion of the retina. The scarring can lead to permanent central vision loss.

Why do you need treatment for Macular Degeneration?

There is no cure for AMD but you may need eye treatments to reduce or delay the severity of AMD, and most of all, prevent severe vision loss.
