Les injections anti-VEGF sont le traitement le plus courant contre la DMLA [dégénérescence maculaire liée à l'âge] et l'OMD [œdème maculaire diabétique]. Ces maladies sont caractérisées par une croissance incontrôlée des vaisseaux sanguins dans la rétine et une fuite de liquide dans l'œil, ce qui entraîne la perte de vision.

La photocoagulation au laser est une procédure médicale utilisée pour traiter diverses affections oculaires, notamment la rétinopathie diabétique, la dégénérescence maculaire liée à l'âge(DMLA), le décollement de la rétine et le glaucome. Le procédé implique l'utilisation d’un faisceau laser pour appliquer de la chaleur contrôlée à des tissus spécifiques de l'œil. Ce faisceau laser crée des lésions minuscules et localisées dans les tissus cibles, ce qui permet de sceller les vaisseaux sanguins qui fuient ou de détruire sélectivement des cellules anormales. 2, record 2, French, - photocoagulation%20au%20laser

The Amsler grid is a chart that is specifically designed to qualitatively analyze the disturbances of visual function that accompany the beginning and evolution of maculopathies. The charts are a series of lined and patterned grids that test the central visual field within 10 degrees of fixation where the plates are held at 1/3 of a meter from the eyes. Each square of the grid subtends [one] degree of visual angle, making the ability to define the location of small defects rather easy. ... The Amsler grid test is quick and easy to administer. The patient is instructed to look at the central dot and asked if, in fact, he/she can see it. If not, the patient may have a central scotoma, and the examiner must query the patient regarding exactly what he/she "does" see. If the patient sees the dot, the examiner asks if the patient is aware that surrounding it are numerous squares. The examiner then asks the patient if any of the squares are distorted, missing, etc. 3, record 4, English, - Amsler%20grid%20test

Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) is an autosomal dominant inherited syndrome caused by the mitochondrial DNA (mDNA) nucleotide mutation A3243G. It affects various organs including the eye with external ophthalmoparesis, ptosis, and bilateral macular pattern dystrophy. The prevalence of retinal involvement in MIDD is high, with 50% to 85% of patients exhibiting some macular changes. ... MIDD progresses slowly over several years and has a good visual prognosis when confined to the perifoveal region. However, atrophic areas can progress toward the fovea with central vision loss mimicking geographic age-related macular degeneration (AMD). 5, record 6, English, - maternally%20inherited%20diabetes%20and%20deafness

Age-related macular degeneration is the most common cause of severe loss of eyesight among people 50 and older. Only the center of vision is affected with this disease. It is important to realize that people rarely go blind from it. AMD affects the central vision, and with it, the ability to see fine details. In AMD, a part of the retina called the macula is damaged. In advanced stages, people lose their ability to drive, to see faces, and to read smaller print. In its early stages, AMD may have no signs or symptoms, so people may not suspect they have it. 6, record 7, English, - age%2Drelated%20macular%20degeneration

Il existe deux formes de DMLA [dégénérescence maculaire liée à l'âge]. La DMLA sèche est la plus courante. Elle est causée par le vieillissement et la détérioration des mécanismes qui «nettoient» la macula. Les déchets provenant de la destruction de cellules forment alors des dépôts jaunâtres, appelés «druses» ou «drusen», qui s’accumulent sous la rétine. À un stade tardif, ils provoquent la mort des cellules de la macula qui captent la lumière(cellules photoréceptrices), ce qui altère la vision centrale. La forme sèche évolue généralement lentement. 5, record 9, French, - d%C3%A9g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rescence%20maculaire%20s%C3%A8che%20li%C3%A9e%20%C3%A0%20l%26rsquo%3B%C3%A2ge

La DMLA humide progresse beaucoup plus rapidement [que la dégénérescence maculaire sèche liée à l'âge. ] Parallèlement à l'accumulation des druses, de nouveaux vaisseaux sanguins anormaux se forment sous la rétine, au niveau de la macula. Ces vaisseaux très fragiles et poreux laissent s’échapper du sang et du liquide qui provoquent la formation d’un œdème maculaire. 7, record 10, French, - d%C3%A9g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rescence%20maculaire%20humide%20li%C3%A9e%20%C3%A0%20l%26rsquo%3B%C3%A2ge

Qu'est-ce que la dégénérescence maculaire? Dégénérescence veut dire détérioration. La macula est une petite partie de la rétine de l'œil jouant un grand rôle dans la vue centrale et la perception des détails. Ainsi, la dégénérescence maculaire désigne une maladie de l'œil qui affecte principalement la qualité de la vision centrale. La dégénérescence maculaire va souvent de pair avec le vieillissement. On parle alors de dégénérescence maculaire liée à l'âge ou DMLA. D'autres maladies peuvent affecter la macula comme la dégénérescence maculaire myopique, causée par une forte myopie. 1, record 11, French, - d%C3%A9g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rescence%20maculaire
