Definition of wet aging WET AGING: Aging beef that has been vacuum packaged (sometimes referred to as âvacuum agingâ). Temperature and time conditions are the same as for dry aging, but because the product is in a vacuum package, humidity and airflow are not critical. Once the vacuum package is opened, however, any further aging is done under the same conditions as those of dry aging.
Wet (exudative or neovascular) form: In the wet form of AMD, abnormal blood vessels grow under the macula. These blood vessels may leak fluid or blood, distorting or diminishing central vision. Wet AMD usually starts in one eye and may affect the other eye later. In contrast to the dry type, vision loss may be rapid.
