Dry Macular Degeneration is a common eye condition that affects the central part of the retina, known as the macula. This condition leads to a gradual loss of vision, making it difficult to see fine details, read, or recognize faces. It typically occurs as people age and is the most prevalent form of macular degeneration.
The exact cause of Dry Macular Degeneration is not fully understood, but it is associated with aging and genetic factors. Over time, small yellow deposits called drusen can form in the macula, contributing to vision loss. While there is no cure, certain lifestyle changes and nutritional supplements may help slow its progression.
