Macular degeneration is aging changes to the macula – the central region of the retina – that cause decreased vision.
“The eye is like a camera, and the retina is the film. The macula is the part of the
retina responsible for the finest details of central vision. It is most important for reading, but also for distance vision. As the macular begins to age, the details of vision are lost. It’s like trying to take pictures with bad film (or a digital camera with too few megapixels). A complete eye exam can show signs of macular degeneration.”
Acclaro helps its patients understand the macula and how macular degeneration differs from other eye conditions. Additionally, Acclaro helps its patients understand the treatment options available to help treat macular degeneration.
