There are two things, which can cause a block to occur in this area. The first is the buildup of yellow deposits. These yellow deposits could be many small deposits or they may be larger deposits. There are a number of theories, which have been linked to the cause of the buildup of these deposits. The second cause of vision loss is the growth of blood vessels in between the macula and the retina of the eye, which blocks part of the visual field. There are a number of risk factors that can be underlying causes of the growth of these blockages. One of the largest factors is age. As the body ages a buildup of these yellow deposits, which some believe might be caused by cholesterol becomes more likely. Just as it builds up elsewhere in the body, it can buildup between the macula and the retina. The other type of age related age macular degeneration involves the growth of blood vessels. These have been likened to their similarities to blood clots. Family history can be a factor with age related macular degeneration. Another cause is actually attributed to a gene, which is called the Macular degeneration
gene. It affects the ability of the body to produce the correct factors in a complement system of proteins. Business Opportunities |
