2, the elderly macular degeneration of the eye? What are the symptoms?
Will the disease into clinical atrophic (dry) and exudative (wet sex) two types.
To dry amd line fundus examination, visible eyes macular symmetry pigment disorder, concave light reflecting disappear, the center of the retina has most yellowish-white sizes of glass film warts, some patients the posterior polar map shape atrophy and a gold foil kind reflect light.
Sex of wet amd line fundus examination, visible eye department is unclean has slightly gray and mild uplift the degeneration of membrane, new blood vessels from the week has a dark black pigment epithelium, bottom or deep retinal hemorrhage and bright red of shallow retinal hemorrhage, and the blood clots and glass film stread warts. Lesions can have different range, from less than 1 depending on the nipple diameter to affected whole the posterior polar. Bleeding can have serious bleeding, and even formed before the vitreous hemorrhage.
3, amd their vision of what effect?

In addition to conventional vision, the eye anterior segment check, check in the best after mydriatic, in order to ensure the site, scope, lesions in depth and properties. In addition, the eye is indispensable fluorescent angiographic examination method, other special test such as: optical coherence tomography imaging art, etc.
5, amd to do eye fluorescence angiography?
For amd speaking, eye fluorescence angiography can detailed observations of the situation to lesions. To dry amd and fundus fluorescence angiography in the course of the early visible fluorescence, a choroidal late a weak fluorescence. Wet sex older macular degeneration, arterial visible lace shape in radial under the retina, new blood vessels, and later a fluorescent element is leaking, and the obvious fluorescence, bleeding cover late degeneration angiogenesis, the machine scars.
6, amd how to treat? How to prevent?
Dry amd no special treatment, present only low vision devices such as: with a magnifying glass or other special type of telescope to vision. Western medicine for wet sex amd, early in the new blood vessels under the macular foveal 200 u m the outside, can use laser photocoagulation closed new blood vessels, in case the film the development of the disease. But with all little. Watch less TV computer, eat fresh fruit and vegetables for macular degeneration, the formation and development of all have good prevention role.
