What is Age- Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)?

AMD is a very common eye condition. It causes damage to the macula of the eye, which allows for sharp vision of objects that are straight-ahead. This condition does not cause blindness, but it does cause blurred vision in the center of the eye- making it hard to carry out daily activities. Each patient with this condition experiences the deterioration of their vision at a different pace. This condition is also the number one cause of vision loss in people ages 50+.
