Dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common
type and involves the gradual deterioration of macular
light-sensing cells. Scientists believe that genetic,
environmental, and other factors may play a role in the development
of dry AMD. Wet AMD occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow
underneath the retina. These vessels tend to leak fluid or bleed,
causing damage and distortion of the macula resulting in vision
