What is Macular Degeneration?
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye disease that damages the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision.
There are two primary forms of AMD:
Dry AMD (Most Common)
This form accounts for the majority of cases and develops gradually as the macula thins over time, leading to blurred central vision.
Wet AMD (More Advanced)
Caused by abnormal blood vessel growth under the macula, leading to sudden, severe vision loss if untreated. Requires immediate intervention to slow damage.
Symptoms and Risk Factors of AMD
Many patients do not notice symptoms in the early stages, making routine eye exams essential for early detection.
Symptoms of Macular Degeneration:
- Blurry or distorted central vision
- Straight lines appearing wavy
- Difficulty reading, driving, or recognizing faces
- Dark or blank spots in central vision
Who is at Risk?
- Age 50 and older
- Family history of macular degeneration
- Smoking, which doubles the risk of AMD
- Poor diet lacking antioxidants and omega-3s
- High blood pressure and cardiovascular disease
If you are at risk, early detection and lifestyle changes can help slow progression.
