Macular degeneration is a chronic condition affecting the macula in the retina’s center. Symptoms including blurred, distorted vision and blindspots ranging from mild to serious in severity.
One of the most common causes of vision loss for older adults, macular degeneration (often called AMD) affects central vision. Objects in the middle of your eyesight appear distorted, warped, or undetectable. There is no pain associated with the condition, and due to its gradual onset, many patients don’t realize they suffer from macular degeneration until later stages. Scheduling a checkup with an optometrist is the best method to protect your vision.
