What is Age-Related Macular Degeneration?
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a common eye condition that affects the macula, causing gradual loss of central vision.
It primarily affects older adults and is a leading cause of vision loss in people over 50.
There are two types: dry AMD, which involves thinning of the macula, and wet AMD, which involves abnormal blood vessel growth.
Risk factors include age, genetics, smoking, and certain lifestyle factors. While there is no cure, early detection and treatment can help slow progression and manage symptoms.
Treatment options include lifestyle changes, supplements, medications, and advanced therapies.
Regular eye exams are important for early detection and management.
Ignoring Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) can have significant consequences.
If left untreated, AMD can progress and lead to severe vision loss, particularly in the central field of vision.
This can greatly impact daily activities such as reading, driving, recognizing faces, and performing tasks that require detailed vision.
