Causes of Macular degeneration Las causas de la degeneración macular
Macular degeneration results in a partial breakdown of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). La degeneración macular da lugar a una ruptura parcial del epitelio pigmentario (RPE). The RPE is the insulating layer between the retina and the choroid (the layer of blood vessels behind the retina). La Minga es la capa aislante entre la retina y la coroides (la capa de vasos sanguíneos detrás de la retina). Fluid leakage occurs, and new blood vessels growing from the choroid destroy the retinal nerve tissue and replace it with scar tissue and the light-sensitive cells in the macular are damaged. Fugas de líquidos se produce, y los nuevos vasos sanguíneos cada vez mayor de la coroides destruir el tejido nervioso de retina y sustituirlo por tejido cicatrizal y la sensible a la luz en las células macular están dañados. The cause is unknown. La causa es desconocida.
