Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD or ARMD) Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative eye disease that causes damage to the macula, the central part of the retina at the back of the eye that allows us to see fine details clearly. AMD can impair central vision.MD may cause a progressive loss of central sight; however, it does not usually cause total blindness. Peripheral vision is unaffected, allowing a certain amount of mobility in normal surroundings. If left untreated, the wet type of AMD may progress rapidly. This is less common, but is typically more damaging.

Risk Factors for Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) The four risk factors we can't control: 1  Advanced age: Although AMD may occur earlier, studies indicate that people over age 60 are at greater risk than those in younger age groups. For instance, a large study found that people in middle age have about a 2% risk of getting AMD, but this risk increased to nearly 30 percent in those over age 75.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration Overview Macular degeneration is the leading cause of severe vision loss in people over age 60. It occurs when the small central portion of the retina, known as the macula, deteriorates. The retina is the light-sensing nerve tissue at the back of the eye.Because the disease develops as a person ages, it is often referred to as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In the advanced stages, patients lose central vision. 2  Wet form. 3  The wet form of macular degeneration is characterized by the growth of abnormal blood vessels from the choroid underneath the macula. 4  This is called choroidal neovascularization.

ARMD is associated with the presence of drusen, without visual loss early in the disease, and often progresses to retinal atrophy and central retinal degeneration with associated loss of central vision.linical pathophysiology. The clinical definition of early age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) varies with the source consulted. A clinically useful guideline is when drusen in the posterior pole are greater than 5 in number and at least 63 µm in size.
