The macula is an oval-shaped pigmented area near the center of the retina of the human eye that is responsible for visual field. Over time, this area starts losing its function which results in macular degeneration and ultimately, blindness.

Macular degeneration is common in the elderly, but can affect young people as well. It is caused by the aging process, genetics or smoking.
