Description: Glaucoma, video illustration. A clear fluid flows through the anterior segment at the front of the eye nourishing tissues. At the open angle where the cornea and iris meet the fluid flows through a spongy meshwork and leaves the eye. But if it passes through too slowly pressure inside the eye rises to a level that damages the optic nerve resulting in vision loss from open-angle glaucoma. Untreated, the vision loss progresses from normal vision and no pain to gradual loss of peripheral or side vision and eventually total vision loss. Audio Description (Video only; no audio.) The animation begins with a close up of a man's eye and fades to a graphic of an eyeball. A cross section of an eye appears and blue arrows represent the normal flow of fluid. A close up of the meshwork appears and red arrows depict slowly moving fluid and damage to the optic nerve. A street scene appears with people walking and automobiles passing by. Pots of flowers stand in the foreground. The scene slowly fades to a narrow field of central vision then to total blackness.

Description: Animation of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). AMD is a vision problem of the retina or light sensitive layer of the eye in older individuals. Yellowish deposits (drusen) form, resulting in distortion and gradual blurring of vision. In advanced cases, blind spots develop that grow larger as the disease progresses. There are two types of AMD, classified as "wet" and "dry." The most common form is the dry type. Wet AMD, as seen in the animation, occurs when blood vessels growing up from beneath the retina leak blood. Leaked blood pushes on the light receptor cells resulting in damage to the retina. Audio Description (Video only; no audio.) Children are playing in a play lot. As the video progresses, the children are distorted and the bright colors and strong contrast in the children's clothes fade becoming less focused. In this simulation, how a person with AMD sees the world is presented graphically. As the disease progresses the area of central vision deteriorates. The gradual destruction of light sensitive cells continues until large areas are totally lost. Peripheral vision remains, but the ability to clearly see straight ahead is gradually lost.

Description: Video illustration of changes in the eye associated with AMD combined with a vision simulation. Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in older Americans. It affects the retina, the light sensitive layer of the eye. As yellowish deposits form under the retina, they can result in distortion and gradual blurring of vision. This is called "dry AMD." The second type, called "wet AMD" can lead to bleeding and more rapid vision loss. The most common form is the dry type, but as more and larger deposits develop under the retina, the risk of developing the wet type increases. Audio Description: (Video only; no audio.) The animation begins with a close-up of the face of an elderly woman. The face fades as the camera begins to zoom in on her right eye. The zoom continues and as the eye fills the screen, the front half disappears to reveal the light sensitive retinal layer at the back of the eye. Small yellowish deposits known as drusen are seen forming under the retina blurring the sharp central area of vision or macula. Individual drusen, coalesce forming larger areas of damage. Blood vessels growing up from below the retina leak blood under the retina. Pressure from these pockets of blood, damage the light sensing cells, destroying the ability to see straight ahead. The progress of AMD is repeated with the development of drusen and later, pockets of blood under the retina, as shown in the inset in the upper right. The main image is a simulation of what the individual sees as the disease progresses. AMD disease progress and gradual vision loss are presented concurrently in the last part of the animation.
