Descripción General

Definición

Degeneración macular asociada a la edad:

  • Cambios degenerativos que afectan a la mácula, la parte central de la retina Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the optic nerve and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the choroid and the inner surface with the vitreous body. The outermost layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent.
