Symptoms of Wet Macular Degeneration
The classic early indication of
wet macular degeneration is straight lines appearing crooked. This results when fluid from the leaking blood vessels gathers and lifts the macula, distorting vision.
A small blind spot may also appear in wet
macular degeneration, resulting in the loss of central vision.
With wet macular degeneration, loss of central vision can occur quickly. Wet macular degeneration is a more advanced form of the disease, and is more severe than
dry macular degeneration.
