Wet Macular Degeneration

Wet macular degeneration is a serious eye condition that affects the central part of the retina, known as the macula, which is responsible for sharp vision. In this type, abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina and can leak fluid or blood, leading to rapid vision loss. Symptoms may include blurred or distorted vision, making it difficult to see fine details. It contrasts with dry macular degeneration, which progresses more slowly. Early detection and treatment are crucial, often involving injections or laser therapy, to help manage the condition and preserve vision.
