Did you know that age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in people over 50? AMD, which afflicts nearly 20 million people in the United States, is a progressive eye disease that affects the central vision and, as a result, the ability to see fine details.
Below are 3 warning sides of AMD:
1. Blurriness
2. Straight lines appear wavy
3. Blank areas in your central vision
Regular visits with an ophthalmologist can detect AMD years before patients notice anything is wrong. Early detection of changes can lead to treatments that can slow progression or reverse vision loss in some cases of AMD.
