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 1, French, - d%C3%A9g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rescence%20maculaire%20humide%20li%C3%A9e%20%C3%A0%20l%26rsquo%3B%C3%A2ge

On distingue deux formes cliniques de la DMLA [dégénérescence maculaire liée à l'âge] aux stades tardifs : la forme «sèche» caractérisée par une atrophie géographique de l'EPR [épithélium pigmentaire rétinien] et de la choroïde et la forme «humide» ou exsudative, qui est associée, en plus de l'atrophie, à une néovascularisation choroïdienne(NVC). 2, record 2, French, - atrophie%20g%C3%A9ographique
