Macular degeneration is a progressive eye disease that affects the macula—the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. As the macula deteriorates, it can lead to severe vision problems and, in advanced stages, vision loss.
This condition is most common in individuals over the age of 60, though it can develop at any age. Early detection and treatment are essential for preserving your vision.
Symptoms of Macular Degeneration may include:
Blurry or distorted central vision
Difficulty recognizing faces
Dark or empty spots in your vision
Trouble seeing in low light
Colors that appear less vibrant
