A Genetic Condition Passed Through Families, Causing Gradual Macular Degeneration
Hereditary macular dystrophy is a genetic condition passed through families that causes the gradual degeneration of the macula. Over time, the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells break down, creating a progressive blind spot in the center of a patient's visual field.
The condition is caused by inherited gene mutations that affect the function of photoreceptor cells or the retinal pigment epithelium. The specific mutation depends on the subtype of hereditary macular dystrophy.
Unlike some retinal conditions, hereditary macular dystrophy typically progresses slowly over a long period — often spanning several decades. This makes early diagnosis and intervention particularly important in preserving remaining vision.
Our Stem Cell Therapy protocols are designed to support remaining retinal cells and slow the rate of degeneration. Early treatment, before significant cell loss has occurred, tends to yield the most meaningful outcomes.
