@@ The AMD causes a deterioration of the central field of vision of the human eye caused by loss of function of the macula. The macula is the central part of the retina, the part that receives the most freely detailed information since it contains a considerable number of daylight sensitive and colour sensitive photoreceptor cells. People with little skin pigments like European people are more frequently affected than people from the Asian continent for example. Three quarters of the people who are affected by AMD suffer from the dry form of macular degeneration which means lack of fluid or dehydration of the back part of the eye. There is no effective treatment to be known so far.
