Age-related macular degeneration

Principle

In this experiment, the eye disease glaucoma is simulated.

Glaucoma refers to a group of eye diseases that are typically characterized by increased pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure) and can lead to damage to the optic nerve, which can ultimately result in loss of vision.

In this experiment, age-related macular degeneration is simulated.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that primarily affects older people and leads to a deterioration in central vision. This is caused by damage to the macula, a small area in the middle of the retina that is responsible for sharp vision and the recognition of fine details. AMD is one of the main causes of vision loss in people over the age of 50.
