This eye has developed
central scarring of the
macula. This macular area is
usually a concentration of
the photo receptor cells
called the cones. These
cones are responsible for
our most acute central
vision.
central scarring of the

usually a concentration of
the photo receptor cells

cones are responsible for
our most acute central

As a result of this scarring, the eye has lost functional central vision. This would
be considered a late stage of Age Related Macular Degeneration or ARMD.
