Causes, Symptoms, and Remedies for Macular Degeneration

The reasons for macular degeneration

Macular degeneration’s underlying cause is unknown. Thanks to the research conducted over the past ten years, some of the indications that may be the cause of disease or in some way related to the onset of disease have been revealed and uncovered. They consist of numerous genetic and environmental factors, such as pollution, nicotine, diet, and lifestyle.

It has been observed that the condition manifests in later phases of life, demonstrating its association with ageing. This disorder affects the macula, the portion of the retina responsible for distinct vision and a direct line of sight. Some of the risk factors for macular degeneration include the following:

Age – The disease is most prevalent in persons over the age of 50, indicating an association between age and the disease. AMD affects one-third of individuals aged 75 and older.

Several researchers have identified genes responsible for the onset of macular degeneration in families. Several alleles have been found to be associated with the risk of macular degeneration, indicating that the disease has an inherited component.

Studies have shown that women are more likely than men to develop AMD because women live longer than men and therefore have more time to develop the disease. Nevertheless, men can also develop AMD, depending on their age and genetic variation. More research is being conducted to determine the function of genes in disease progression.
