MACULAR DEGENERATION TREATMENT

Macular degeneration or Age-Related Macular Degeneration is caused by the deterioration of the central portion of the retina. The retina is essentially on the back part of the eye and image processing center that is responsible for transmitting images to the brain... The images are sent through the optic nerve from the eye to the brain. The retina's central portion, known as the macula, is responsible for focusing central vision in the eye, and it controls our ability to read, work on computers, play athletics, or simply recognize familiar people. Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness affecting more Americans than cataracts and glaucoma combined.
