About this video:
There are different conditions that may cause macular eye degeneration. In this Martin's Eye Tips video Optometrist Martin Oguzie explains what age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is and touches on macular degeneration treatment options (when you get a diagnosis of wet AMD) that include laser and anti-VEGF injections. You'll learn the difference between Dry age macular degeneration and what makes macular degeneration Wet in the retina. We also cover why lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin are essential. Through visual illustrations, Martin demonstrates dry macular degeneration drusen and wet macular degeneration bleeds that require treatment by an ophthalmology retinal specialist called an ophthalmologist. Because AMD carries the risk of central vision loss its important to recognise the symptoms and causes of wet AMD in particular. Key research called the AREDS study has led to the recommended supplement such as (preservision areds) formulation called the AREDS 2 formulation, and you'll discover the ingredients such as lutein zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin, in it.
