Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the leading cause of irreversible visual loss in the elderly people.
There are two types of macular degeneration:, the nonexudative form involves atrophic and hypertrophic changes in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) underlying the central
retina.
Exudative • (Neovascular) age related macular degeneration is the major cause of sever and irreversible vision loss in age related macular degeneration. The neovascular disease is due to the growth of new blood vessels from the choroid in Bruch's membrane and in the subretinal space.
In our study we have attempted to outline the importance of Fluorescein angiography in understanding the pathological changes and early detection of ARMD.
This study was carried out on patients attending the outpatient Clinic of Benha University Hospital, from February
2003 to March 2004, to select the cases of our study which were
20 cases of ARMD. This done by:
• Full opthalmological examination to exclude other causes of visual disturbances.
• Fundus Fluorescein angiography usmg sodium
Fluorescein 10% solution.
