Boothe Eye Center Macular Degeneration - A deterioration of specialized cells in the macula of the retina which normally detect light and color to give us sharp central vision. With Macular Degeneration they deteriorate as we age, causing severe vision loss and even blindness after about age 65. There are two kinds:

* Wet (neovascular) – where new little blood vessels grow under the retina, leaking blood and fluid and causing further vision loss
* Dry (non-neovascular) – where new blood vessels do not grow, so that this is a less severe form of the disease; however, it sometimes progresses into the Wet form

Macular Degeneration is not fully understood, but it appears to be related to advancing age, smoking, heredity, high blood pressure, obesity, inactivity, and some drugs. Also called Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD).
