Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration is caused by the damage to the macula, the small but critical area in the center of the retina. It is characterized by the loss of central vision, especially the fine details which become blurred. In dry macular degeneration, the center of the retina deteriorates due to deposits of drusen (yellow deposits under the retina), while with wet macular degeneration, blood vessels grow and leak under the retina, causing scarring. In both cases peripheral vision remains intact, but central vision is lost and mobility is often impaired.


NoIR filters offer 100% UV protection and are formulated to absorb specific wavelengths of visible and in some cases infrared light to help provide relief from visual symptoms associated with Age Related Macular Degeneration.
