Macular degeneration is a disease of the macula. The macula is an area of the retina at the back of the eye that is responsible for fine detail vision. There are two types of macular degeneration: wet and dry. The majority of cases are dry macular degeneration in which there is a thinning or deterioration of the tissue around the macula. Wet macular degeneration arises when abnormal or leaking blood vessels grow underneath the retina in the macular area.
