What is Wet Macular Degeneration?

• Wet macular degeneration is a chronic eye
  disorder that causes blurred vision or a blind
  spot in your field of vision. It is usually
  caused by abnormal blood vessels that leak fluid
  or blood into the macula. The macula is in the
  part of the retina accountable for the central
  vision.
• Wet macular degeneration is one of two types of
  age-associated macular degeneration. The other
  type dry macular degeneration is more common
  and less serious. The wet type always starts out
  as the dry type.
• Early detection and treatment of wet macular
  degeneration might help reduce vision loss and,
  in some instances, recover vision.

Signs And Symptoms Of Wet Macular Degeneration

• Wet macular degeneration symptoms generally
  appear suddenly and worsen rapidly. They might
  include
• Visual distortions, like straight lines seeming
  bent
• Decreased central vision in one or both eyes
• The requirement for brighter light when reading
  or doing close-up work
• Increased difficulty adapting to low light
  levels, like when entering a dimly lit restaurant
• Increased blurriness of printed words
• Decreased intensity or brightness of colors
• Trouble recognizing faces
• A well-defined blurry spot or a blind spot in
  your visual field

Causes Of Wet Macular Degeneration

• No one knows the accurate cause of wet macular
  degeneration, but it develops in people who have
  had dry macular degeneration. Of all people with
  age-associated macular degeneration, about twenty
  percent have the wet form.
• Wet macular degeneration could develop in
  different ways
• Vision loss caused by abnormal blood vessel
  growth - At times abnormal new blood vessels grow
  from the choroid under and into the macula
  (choroidal neovascularization). The choroid is
  the layer of blood vessels in between the retina
  and the outer, firm coat of the eye (sclera).
  These abnormal blood vessels might leak fluid or
  blood, interfering with the retina's function.
• Vision loss caused by fluid build-up in the back
  of the eye - When fluid leaks from the choroid,
  it could collect between the thin cell layer
  known as the retinal pigment epithelium and the
  retina or within the layers of the retina. This
  might cause a bump in the macula, resulting in
  vision loss or distortion.
