Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration
📋Overview
Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration, also known as neovascular or exudative macular degeneration, involves the growth of abnormal, fragile blood vessels beneath the macula. These vessels can leak fluid or blood, which may lead to rapid changes in central vision.
This condition is a specific subtype of macular degeneration where the accumulation of fluid interferes with the retina's ability to process visual information. It is often associated with more sudden visual disturbances compared to the dry form of the disease.
