Macular degeneration is also termed as AMDARMD i.e. Age-related Macular Degeneration.

It is this later stage that is basically divided into two types Victor Hedman Jersey , dry AMD and wet AMD.

Process for curing, differs for both dry AMD and wet AMD, but eventually helps and stops further damage of the macula. Wet AMD needs greater attention as degeneration in this case is very rapid, say in days Yanni Gourde Jersey , if left unattended.
