Macular
Degeneration
What Is AMD?
What Is AMD
• Age-related macular degeneration or
(AMD) is a medical eye condition that
affects many older adults and can result
in total vision loss in the central visual
field, also known as the macula.
AMD
• The macula is located in the center part of
the retina and it controls our central vision.
AMD
• AMD is a major cause of visual impairment
and blindness in adults over 50.
AMD
• Macular degeneration affects our most
important central vision and it makes it
difficult to read, identify faces, watching TV,
and simply being able to get around.
AMD
• Only the peripheral vision is left, with the
central vision being reduced to out of focus
images and blank areas.
AMD
• In some individuals, AMD advances so
slowly that vision loss does not occur for a
long time.
AMD
• In others, the disorder progresses faster and
may lead to a loss of vision in one or both of
the eyes.
AMD
• Some optometrists and eye doctors now
offer a macular degeneration test.
AMD
• If you are showing signs of AMD or have
been diagnosed with the disease, the test
can give your doctor critical statistics
helping them to predict how AMD will affect
your vision and enabling them to design a
vision care plan tailored to your needs.
