Wet macular degeneration is a chronic eye disease that causes vision loss in the center of your field of vision. Wet macular degeneration is marked by swelling caused by leaking blood vessels that affect the macula which is in the center of the retina – the layer of tissue on the inside back wall of your eyeball.
Early detection and treatment of wet macular degeneration will help reduce the extent of vision loss and, in some instances, improve vision.
