Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Macular degeneration is a condition in which the macula lutea, a small area in the center of the retina that contains the fovea centralis, is damaged or destroyed, leading to vision loss and impairment of central vision. Glaucoma, presbyopia, and cataracts are all conditions that can affect vision but are not primarily associated with the destruction of the macula lutea.
