What is Macular Degeneration?

Macular Degeneration is an eye disorder characterized by a number of conditions negatively affecting the macula caused by ocular oxidative stress, inflammation, and insufficient blood perfusion. Micro acupuncture help patients in getting clear sight and improved vision within days.

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

Our retina is similar to a camera, which captures light and sends a signal to the optic nerve. The macula helps us to see in detail, recognize faces, read, drive, etc. In age-related macular degeneration, the macula is damaged, resulting in poor vision.

At the starting stage, the disease does not show any symptoms. It can be identified when the person feels blurriness in his sight. The patient may lose his/hercentral vision during the last stages, but can continue to see through the Peripheral vision.

Age-related macular degeneration is mainly of two types:

• Dry AMD: The dry type is most common, occurring to 80% of people suffering from AMD. Dry AMD results in mild to moderate vision loss because the macula becomes very thin and forms small protein clumps.
• Wet AMD: This condition is less common but can result in more significant vision loss. It results in the growth of new blood vessels under the retina, which can leak and cause the fluid to build up in the macula.
