What is ‘Wet’ AMD? | Cause of Wet AMD

Wet is less common in Age Related Macular Degeneration. It occurs when small, new, abnormal blood vessels begin to grow behind the retina towards the macular. These tiny vessels leak blood and fluid, damaging the macular surface. Wet AMD cause a rapid loss of central vision. Urgent assessment should be sought from a macular specialist if signs & symptoms are found. Book Your Eye Test Today
