Macular Edema
Macular Edema is a condition characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. This swelling can lead to blurred or distorted vision, making it difficult to see fine details. It often occurs as a result of other eye conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy or age-related macular degeneration.
The condition can affect people of all ages but is more common in those with diabetes or other underlying health issues. Treatment options may include medications, laser therapy, or injections to reduce swelling and improve vision. Early detection is crucial for better outcomes.
