Inflammatory Markers as Predictors of Orbital Infection Severity

Neovascular age related macular degeneration, often shortened to nAMD, is a common cause of vision loss in older adults. It affects the macula, which is the small but vital area in the center of the retina that lets you see fine details. In the neovascular form, abnormal blood vessels grow under the macula. These fragile vessels can leak fluid or blood, which damages the light sensing cells and blurs central vision. People may notice straight lines looking wavy, a dark or gray spot in the center of vision, or colors looking less clear.
