Macular degeneration is an eye disease that destroys your central vision. Central vision is essential to being able to see object clearly while doing daily tasks like reading and driving. The condition affects the macula, which is the part of the eye that helps you see fine details. 

There are two types of macular degeneration: wet and dry. Fortunately, both are treatable.

Macular degeneration treatment uses a combination of medications and surgery to help you see more clearly. Medical treatment is ideal for patients with wet AMD. Two of the most popular treatments for macular degeneration are anti-VEGF drugs and laser surgery. Anti-VEGF drugs and laser surgery can be used to treat some types of wet macular degeneration by reducing the number of abnormal blood vessels in the retina and slowing their leaking. Anti-VEGF medicine is delivered to your eye with a slender needle, while laser surgery involves a surgeon shining a laser light beam in your eye.

Follow up treatment is often required by your doctor.  Many patients who undergo wet macular degeneration treatment have been able to regain some of the vision that they lost due to the condition. The right treatment for your specific case will not only slow your vision loss, but improve your vision as well. The earlier you seek treatment, the more likely it is that treatment will help.
