About the Macular Degeneration Surgery

Macular degeneration is an age-related retinal condition that comes in two types: wet and dry. This eye disease causes loss of central vision, but it typically does not lead to total blindness. While there are treatments available, there is no cure.

Macular degeneration is a common condition in people over the age of 50. It affects the macula, the central part of the retina, which is located at the back of the eye and controls central vision. Individuals with macular degeneration retain their peripheral vision (the ability to see things off to the sides).

Types

The two types of macular degeneration are: Dry and wet.

  • Dry (Atrophic) Macular Degeneration: It is the most common type, affecting nearly 90% of individuals with the condition. It develops when tiny yellow protein deposits, known as drusen, accumulate under the macula. These deposits cause the macula to dry out and thin.

Vision loss in dry macular degeneration typically occurs gradually, and most people do not completely lose their central vision. However, in some cases, the dry form can progress to the wet form.

  • Wet (Exudative) Macular Degeneration: Wet macular degeneration, also known as exudative macular degeneration, occurs when abnormal blood vessels form under the retina and macula. These blood vessels leak blood and fluid, leading to fluid buildup and a bulge in the macula.

This type of macular degeneration is more severe and can rapidly lead to significant loss of central vision. About 10% of individuals with macular degeneration have a wet form. Symptoms may include seeing dark spots in the center of vision.

How is Macular Degeneration Surgery performed?

Treatment for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) focuses on preventing disease progression and maintaining vision through lifestyle changes and specific nutritional supplements. These include a high-dose formulation of antioxidants and zinc, which have been shown to reduce the risk of advanced AMD and vision loss.

In advanced cases of dry AMD, surgery may involve implanting a telescopic lens in one eye to improve both distance and close-up vision.

For wet AMD, treatment options aim to slow down vision loss:

Laser Surgery: This procedure targets and destroys abnormal blood vessels within the retina to slow vision loss, particularly effective for new blood vessels away from the cornea.

Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Injections: These drugs, such as aflibercept, bevacizumab, and ranibizumab, help prevent abnormal blood vessel growth by inhibiting VEGF expression in the retina, thereby controlling or slowing vascular diseases.

Photodynamic Laser Therapy (PDT): In PDT, a drug called verteporfin is administered intravenously, absorbed by new blood vessels, and activated by low-power laser light, slowing the growth of new blood vessels and reducing the rate of vision loss.

Recovery from Macular Degeneration Surgery

Recovery from macular degeneration varies depending on the type and severity of the condition. While there may not be a complete recovery, treatments aim to slow progression and preserve remaining vision. Lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, and surgical interventions may help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments with an eye care specialist are essential for optimal management and adjustment of treatment strategies
