H35.3030.
Wet macular degeneration is a chronic eye disorder that causes blurred vision or a blind spot in your visual field. It's generally caused by abnormal blood vessels that leak fluid or blood into the macula (MAK-u-luh).Dec 11, 2020
Degenerative changes in the retina usually of older adults which results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the macula lutea) because of damage to the retina. It occurs in dry and wet forms.
Nonexudative AMD is characterized by the degeneration of the retina and the choroid in the posterior pole due to either atrophy or RPE detachment. The atrophy is generally preceded (or coincident in some cases) by the presence of yellow extracellular deposits adjacent to the basal surface of the RPE called drusen.Jul 16, 2021
Dry Macular Degeneration. The main difference between wet vs dry macular degeneration is simple: dry macular degeneration is the more common type of eye disease and does less damage to your vision while wet macular degeneration can result in serious vision loss.Jan 4, 2021
The dry form of age-related macular degeneration tends to get worse slowly, so you can keep most of your vision. The wet form of macular degeneration is a leading cause of permanent vision loss. If it's in both eyes, it can hurt your quality of life. Wet macular degeneration can need repeated treatments.Nov 22, 2021

Fovea vs. The macula is the center portion of the retina that produces even sharper vision with its rods and cones. The fovea is the pit inside the macula with only cones, so vision can be at its sharpest.
The fovea centralis, or fovea, is a small depression within the neurosensory retina where visual acuity is the highest. The fovea itself is the central portion of the macula, which is responsible for central vision.[1][2][3][4]
Both atrophic and hypertrophic changes occur in the RPE underlying the central macula and can lead to the loss of retinal photoreceptors. Patients with nonexudative AMD can progress to the wet, or exudative, form of AMD, in which pathologic choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVM) develop under the retina.Jun 24, 2021

Right macular degeneration. Clinical Information. A condition in which parts of the eye cells degenerate, resulting in blurred vision and ultimately blindness. A condition in which there is a slow breakdown of cells in the center of the retina (the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye).

A condition in which there is a slow breakdown of cells in the center of the retina (the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye).
Age-related loss of vision in the central portion of the retina (macula), secondary to retinal degeneration.

It occurs in dry and wet forms.
