what is wet amd eye condition

Wet AMD (advanced neovascular AMD) is a serious type of late AMD (age-related macular degeneration) that causes blurred vision or a blind spot in the central vision. It happens when abnormal blood vessels grow in the back of the eye and damage the macula. The symptoms of wet AMD include blurred or distorted vision, a blind spot in the center of your field of vision, and visual distortions. The most common treatment for wet AMD is anti-VEGF injections, which help stop bleeding and leaking from blood vessels in the back of the eye. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a much less common treatment for wet AMD that doctors sometimes use. Early detection and treatment of wet AMD may help reduce vision loss. If you have vision loss from wet AMD, ask your eye doctor if either of these treatments could help you.
