Age-related macular degeneration is divided into two types: dry and wet. The most common symptoms are slight blurring of vision, difficulty in recognizing faces, and the need for brighter light to read or do other things. If you have dry AMD, it is recommended that you have a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. This will help your doctor monitor your condition and check for other eye diseases. If your eye disease is trending, your doctor may recommend lutein supplementation because dry AMD can develop into wet AMD at any time. Wet AMD: New blood vessels grow under the retina in the macula, which are very fragile and prone to hemorrhage and fluid leakage, which can cause edema to bulge in the macula and damage the macula. It manifests as vision loss, black shadow obscuration and distortion. Meanwhile, wet AMD is a kind of advanced AMD, which is more serious than dry AMD and is prone to repeated hemorrhage and edema and scarring, which makes it difficult to reverse the vision, so early detection and early treatment is the most important.
