How to treat macular degeneration

  The macula is a medical term for an area in the fundus of the eye, located 0.35 cm below the temporal side of the optic nerve, which is rich in lutein and has a small yellowish concavity called the macula.  For example, macular fissure, macular anterior membrane, central plasma chorioretinopathy, macular edema, age-related macular degeneration, etc. Macular lesions can have the following symptoms: loss of vision, distorted and smaller visual objects, abnormal color vision, etc.  Macular lesions are treated in different ways due to different types of lesions, mainly in two ways: 1, drug treatment: age-related macular degeneration, macular edema from various causes, the treatment method is mainly intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs, or vitreous cavity injection of hormones, according to the nature of the lesion, the doctor will choose the type and dose of injected drugs according to the condition.  2.Surgical treatment: Macular pre-membrane, macular fissure and other changes in the retinal structure of macular area need to be treated surgically to tear off the pre-membrane and repair the fissure.  There are also some macular lesions for which there is no effective treatment at present, such as congenital macular disease and degenerative macular disease.  3.How long can macular eye maintain blindness Macula is a medical term, which is the name of an area in the fundus of the eye, located at 0.35cm slightly below the temporal side of the optic nerve, rich in lutein, a small yellow concavity called macula, which is the sharpest place of vision, and we can’t see it with naked eyes.  Diseases in the macular area are collectively called “macular degeneration”, which is also commonly known as macular eye, such as: macular fissure, macular anterior membrane, central plasma chorioretinopathy, macular edema, age-related macular degeneration, etc.  Macular degeneration does not necessarily lead to blindness, whether it does or not is related to the type of macular degeneration, its severity and whether it receives timely and effective treatment. Some macular lesions are serious and have poor prognosis, for example: macular fissure, if not treated in time, the fissure may become bigger and bigger, and eventually lead to blindness, how long the blindness is related to the severity of the disease, once the blindness will be difficult to recover. Some macular lesions have a certain self-limiting condition, for example: central plasma chorioretinopathy, which is mostly triggered by mental tension or excessive fatigue, and most of them can recover on their own within 3-6 months, but it is easy to recur, and multiple recurrences will also lead to irreversible visual impairment.  Given that the macula is the most critical part of seeing, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as the macula becomes diseased.
