Claves para entender la DMAE #14
La degeneración macular asociada a la edad, conocida también por sus siglas ‘DMAE’, es una enfermedad degenerativa de la mácula que provoca una disminución progresiva de la visión central. La mácula es un área pequeña localizada en el centro de la retina, la capa posterior del ojo que transforma la luz y las imágenes que entran en el ojo en señales nerviosas que son enviadas al cerebro. Actualmente, es la causa más frecuente de disminución severa de la visión en el mundo occidental. En España afecta aproximadamente al 13% de las personas mayores de 65 años. Hablamos con la doctora Sònia Viver, oftalmóloga de Barraquer, para resolver las principales dudas sobre esta patología.
