A member asked:
Is macular degeneration the same as retinal degeneration? my eye reports says bilateral: defect is consistent with retinal degeneration. i'm 33.

Not really: Macular degeneration is a type of retinal degeneration found in the senior population that affects only the center of vision. Many other types of retinal degeneration exist from congenital, to acquired, from hereditary to environmental and from severe to minimal. I would be happy to interpret the report if you send me more details.
