When we use the term degeneration to describe something in the body, it means a gradual breaking down of tissues resulting in reduced function of the parts affected. We are all familiar with the medical term of arthritis; it means the degeneration or wearing out of our joints. Likewise macular degeneration is a wearing out of our retina (and macula).
