Wet Age Related Macular Degeneration

Wet AMD

This retinal disease involves the dying of cells in the macula - a tiny spot in the center of the retina responsible for our detailed and central vision.

Wet AMD causes more severe vision loss compared to dry AMD. However, dry AMD is the most prevalent type, while only 10-15% of those with AMD have the wet form. The severe vision loss can be sudden or a gradual loss of vision.

Those who have dry AMD can develop wet AMD.
