What Is Macular Degeneration?

AMD, or macular degeneration, is a condition where a crucial part of your vision system known as the macula begins to break down in the back of the eye. As the macula degrades, people lose their central vision, and may experience other issues, especially with light. Unfortunately, damage to the macula is irreversible, and hard to detect without training and special tools. Early detection, proper lifestyle choices, and careful monitoring by your eye doctor can help slow macular degeneration’s progression and improve your quality of life.

Symptoms and Risk Factors

Symptoms

If you have any of the following symptoms, we highly recommend that you schedule an appointment with your eye doctor right away:

  • Reduced central vision
  • A need for brighter light while working
  • Difficulty adapting to low light, like night driving or dimly lit rooms
  • Increased trouble recognizing faces
  • Blurriness when reading printed words

  • Being overweight
  • Family history of AMD
