A Historical
Analysis of the Quest for the Origins of Aging Macula Disorder, the Tissues
Involved, and Its Terminology
Although
ocular tissues involved in aging macula disorder (AMD) were already known in
300 BC, the last type of photoreceptors was discovered only 10 years ago. The
earliest descriptions of AMD appeared around 1850. It took over 150 years, till
a clearer concept of AMD was formulated and even longer to grasp its
pathophysiology. The uncertainty of researchers about the pathogenesis of AMD
over the last century is reflected in its changing terminology. The evolution
of this terminology is provided in a table to afford the reader a better
insight into explanations proposed by researchers during this quest.
