Compare and contrast wet macular degeneration and dry macular degeneration. Be sure to discuss at least one commonality and at least one difference.
What will be an ideal response?
Both wet and dry macular degeneration involve the destruction of the fovea and surrounding area. Both result in a blind spot that develops as the macular region is destroyed. The less-common form, wet macular degeneration, results from abnormal growth of blood vessels. It can be treated, leading to some improvement in vision. The more-common form, dry macular degeneration, is caused by the degeneration of cells that produce photopigments. There is currently no treatment.
