Underlining that there is a lot of misinformation known to the public about diseases, Prof. Dr. Nur Acar Göçgil said, “When our patients who have a problem in the macula, that is, the yellow spot area, apply to us, they often come to us indiscriminately by saying ‘I have macular degeneration’ and they mean age-related macular degeneration. However, this is an incomplete explanation. It would be appropriate for our patients to better understand the diseases and differences that occur in the yellow spot area that requires immediate intervention.” said.
