TAILIEUCHUNG - THE GALE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF GENETIC DISORDERS VOLUME 2

Macular degeneration age-related (AMD) is one of the most common causes of vision loss among adults over age 55 living in developed countries. It is caused by the breakdown of the macula, a small spot located in the back of the eye. The macula allows people to see objects directly in front of them (called central vision), as well as fine visual details. People with AMD usually have blurred central vision, difficulty seeing details and colors, and they may notice distortion of straight lines | The GALE ENCYCLOPEDIA of Genetic i DISORDERS The GALE ENCYCLOPEDIA of genetic 1 DISORDERS VOLUME 2 M-Z APPENDIX GLOSSARY INDEX STACEY L.
