Macular degeneration is a formidable challenge, casting a shadow on the vision of countless individuals aged 60 and older across America. ReFocus Eye Health can help you navigate the challenges of this age-related condition, enhancing your vision and quality of life.
How Can Macular Degeneration Affect Your Vision?
Macular degeneration, often called age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a condition that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. There are two main types of AMD: dry AMD and wet AMD.
- Dry AMD: This is the more common form, characterized by the gradual breakdown of light-sensitive cells in the macula. Over time, it can lead to central vision loss.
- Wet AMD: Less common but more aggressive, wet AMD involves the abnormal growth of blood vessels beneath the retina, which can leak blood and fluid, causing rapid and severe vision loss.
What are The Symptoms?
Early detection is key to effectively managing AMD. Be vigilant for these symptoms:
- Objects appear blurry or distorted
- Straight lines appear wavy or crooked
- Blank or blurry areas appear in the center of your vision
- Tasks in low-light conditions become more challenging
- Some individuals experience hallucinations or visual distortions
