Choroidal degeneration - what does this mean
Choroidal degeneration is a condition in which the choroid, a layer of blood vessels and connective tissue that supplies nutrients to the retina, becomes thinned and weakened. this can be caused by aging, trauma, inflammation, or other medical conditions, and can lead to vision loss due to decreased oxygen and nutrient supply to the retina.
What happens during the disease - choroidal degeneration
Choroidal degeneration is a condition in which the choroid layer of the eye begins to thin and deteriorate, leading to decreased vision. this is caused by a combination of age-related changes in the eye, as well as other factors such as trauma, inflammation, and genetic predisposition. these changes can lead to a breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier, which further contributes to the thinning of the choroid layer. as the condition progresses, other symptoms such as blurred vision, difficulty adapting to low light levels, and floaters may develop. treatment is generally aimed at managing the underlying cause of the condition and minimizing further damage.
