Does Macular Degeneration Always Result In Blindness?


 
Health
Are you looking to learn what is macular degeneration? Due to the increase in cases of macular degeneration more and more people are wishing to obtain accurate and factual information about this disease. This is a disease that affects the eyes in various ways and comes in two specific varieties. These are the “wet” and “dry” versions. Both of these varieties can affect the eyes to the point where a person can ultimately go blind. That is why it is important for anyone that is experiencing any type of problems with their vision to seek out medical assistance to ensure that they are not suffering from this disorder.

The first thing you should be aware of is that this disorder generally affects people over the age of 55. That is why it is often referred to as age-related macular degeneration or AMD for short. However, it should be noted that there have been cases of macular degeneration reported in younger individuals.

The largest number of suffers of macular degeneration will suffer from the dry version of this disease. This variety attacks a person’s central vision. This makes it virtually impossible for them to see anything directly in front of them or to even make out peoples faces that they have known their entire life. In the dry version the macula of the eye begins to deteriorate. The macula is located in the center of a person’s retina. Though this variety of the disease does not result in complete blindness it can greatly decrease a person’s quality of life.

When most people begin seeking out answers to what is macular degeneration they will focus their research on the wet variety. This is the more crucial version of the disease. However, only 10% of people diagnosed with AMD actually have the wet variety. With this version, leaking vessels in the eyes will begin to swell. This can cause the retina to totally be displaced and can result in blindness or more severe vision problems than the dry version.

Diagnosis is the number one way that a person can get a jump start on decreasing the effects of macular degeneration. The moment that you begin experiencing any type of vision problem you must visit a vision specialist in order to be properly diagnosed. Once diagnosed you will have a variety of treatment methods that you can choose to make use of in order to reverse your vision problems or to prevent them from growing worse.

Often times a vision specialist will attempt to get you to immediately acquire laser eye surgery in order to correct the problem. However, most people without vision insurance have a hard time making use of this procedure due to the ultimate cost of it. Others simply can’t take off work to deal with the recovery time that laser eye surgery comes with. That is why you may wish to consider alternative treatment options that have been successful among other sufferers of this disorder.

To learn more about age related macular degeneration and its treatment options visit the online resource known as No More AMD.
