Abstract
An accurate study on the alterations of lipid metabolism was made on a sample of 30 patients affected by senile macular degeneration and 13 patients affected by senile macular degeneration complicated by retinopathy due to hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia can complicate simple macular degeneration, even if a close correlation between the 2 phenomena can be excluded.Keywords
