<\/span><\/div>The dry form of age-related macular degeneration usually has a rather slow course \u2013 extended to months and sometimes even years.

<\/span><\/div>In wet AMD, vision usually deteriorates rapidly. The body tries to improve the nutrient deficiency of the retina by forming new blood vessels.
