Neovascular age-related macular degeneration

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration, commonly referred to as wet or exudative age-related macular degeneration, is an advanced, sight-threatening ocular disorder affecting the central retina in older adults It is pathologically characterized by choroidal neovascularization, during which abnormal, fragile blood vessels proliferate from the choroid into the sub-retinal or sub-retinal pigment epithelium spaces

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration, commonly referred to as wet or exudative age-related macular degeneration, is an advanced, sight-threatening ocular disorder affecting the central retina in older adults These structural changes disrupt the macula, precipitating rapid deterioration of sharp, high-acuity central vision, visual distortion, and the development of central scotomas

It is pathologically characterized by choroidal neovascularization, during which abnormal, fragile blood vessels proliferate from the choroid into the sub-retinal or sub-retinal pigment epithelium spaces Exudation from these permeable vessels leads to fluid leakage, intraretinal or subretinal hemorrhage, and progressive fibrovascular scar formation These structural changes disrupt the macula, precipitating rapid deterioration of sharp, high-acuity central vision, visual distortion, and the devel...
