Age-Related Macula Degeneration
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a chronic eye condition that primarily affects older adults and is a leading cause of vision loss.
It involves the deterioration of the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision.
In its early stages, the following symptoms of macular degeneration can go unnoticed.
- The gradual loss of ability to see objects clearly.
- The shape of objects appears distorted.
- Straight lines look wavy or crooked.(late stage).
- Loss of clear colour vision.
- A dark or empty area in the center of vision.
A condition where the macula, the central part of the retina, thins due to aging. This thinning can cause clumps of protein called drusen to grow. People with dry AMD may have drusen, pigment changes, or geographic atrophy (loss of retinal cells). It leads to a slow loss of central vision and usually progresses gradually over several years.
