According to a recent study, when the surface temperature of the eye and eyelids drops to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius) this could cause or worsen dry eye. The cold temps outside your body cause the oily substance secreted by lid glands to become too thick to spread properly onto the eye surface.
Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD), is a medical condition which may result in blurred or no vision in the center of the visual field. Early on there are often no symptoms.
âDryâ Macular degeneration (atrophic) â Most people have the âdryâ form of AMD. It is caused by aging and thinning of the tissues of the macula. Vision loss is usually gradual. âWetâ Macular Degeneration (Exudative) â The âwetâ form of macular degeneration accounts for about 10% of all AMD cases.lthough macular degeneration reduces vision in the central part of the retina, it usually does not affect the eyeâs side, or peripheral, vision. For example, you could see the outline of a clock but not be able to tell what time it is.
