What is Age-Related Macular Degeneration?
AMD is a common eye disease and the leading cause of vision loss in people over 50. It occurs when parts of the natural aging process damage the macula — the middle part of the retina essential for clear central vision — making it more difficult to complete everyday tasks like reading, cooking, and driving.
Forms of Macular Degeneration
While there are other types of macular degeneration, the primary forms are dry and wet. Dry AMD is the most common and typically progresses over several years as the macula thins with age. Wet AMD occurs when abnormal blood vessels leak fluid or blood into the macula, resulting in more sudden vision loss.
