Macular degeneration is diagnosed as either dry (non-neovascular)
or wet (neovascular). Neovascular refers to growth of new blood
vessels in an area, such as the macula, where they are not supposed
to be. The dry form is more common than the wet, with about 85%-90%
patients diagnosed. The wet form of the disease usually leads to
more serious vision loss. Different forms of macular degeneration
may occur in younger patients. These non-age related cases may be
linked to heredity, diabetes, nutritional deficits, head injury,
infection, or other factors. This book presents the latest research
from around the world.
