Hi, this is Dr. Lara. I’m a retina specialist here at Fort Lauderdale Institute, and I’m here to talk about wet and dry macular degeneration.

It’s really important you know about this because it’s the leading cause of blindness in people above 65, and you have to get your eyes checked every year if you haven’t done it.

There are two types. There’s wet and the dry. The wet is the worst one. It’s the one that can take your vision quicker. So if at any point you try to see distortion or lots of vision in your eye, or you lose vision, make sure you get checked, call your local optometrist or ophthalmologist.
