Macular translocation is a surgical procedure to treat wet macular degeneration.
The macula is the centre of the photosensitive retina, and is responsible for detailed vision that enables you to read, recognise faces, etc. Degeneration of the macula with age affects vision.
Macular degeneration can be dry or wet. Wet macular degeneration is rare, but is the more severe form that occurs due to abnormal vessel formation in the underlying layers, causing the flat macular to bulge.
