What Is Macular Degeneration?
Macular degeneration, or age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a common eye condition that primarily affects central vision, crucial for seeing fine details. It occurs when the central portion of the retina, known as the macula, deteriorates over time. AMD often develops silently and may not cause symptoms until significant vision loss occurs, making regular eye exams crucial.
Symptoms
If you notice any of the following symptoms, it’s important to visit your optometrist for a comprehensive eye exam:
- Gradual loss of ability to see objects sharply
- Distorted vision, such as straight lines appearing wavy
- Dark, blurry areas or whiteout in the center of vision
- Diminished color perception
Causes & Risk Factors
Understanding these risk factors can help in early detection and management:
- Age (55 and older)
- Family history of AMD
- Smoking
- Obesity
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Poor diet lacking fruits and vegetables
