macular degeneration

Older people can have macula focal-area degeneration {age-related macular degeneration} (AMD) {macular degeneration}|. In first macular-degeneration stage {dry stage, macular degeneration}, tissues thin. In next stage {wet stage, macular degeneration}, blood vessels grow and hemorrhage or leak behind macula, forming scar tissue. Anti-oxidant vitamins and minerals slow dry form. Laser treatments and photodynamic therapy can seal leaking blood vessels.
