Description of macular degeneration?
Macular degeneration is a broad term describing diseases that lead to a loss of central vision. Some of these diseases affect the macula directly, while age related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the layer under the macula known as the retinal pigment epithelium, or RPE. Note that the conditions called macular hole and epimacular membrane (also called “macular pucker”, “wrinkling”, or “cellophane”) are not macular degeneration.
