RESUMEN
La maculopatía relacionada con la edad es la causa más importante de pérdida severa de la función visual en la tercera edad. La visión central disminuye en forma importante pero la visión periférica permanece casi sin alteración. Esta patología se divide en formas atrofica y exudativa y el diagnóstico se basa en la sintomatología, en los hallazgos oftalmoscópicos y en la angiografía retiniana con la que se determina su tipo. En la actualidad, los dos tratamientos con efectividad comprobada son la fotocoagulación con láser y la terapia fotodinámica, aunque desafortunadamente sólo un numero pequeño de ojos afectados con la variedad exudativa pueden ser tratados en forma efectiva. La rehabilitación visual puede ayudar a los pacientes a adaptarse a su visión residual y así poder efectuar sus actividades cotidianas.
