Macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of vision loss among adults, especially those over the age of 60. As technology and medical research continue to evolve, there have been significant advancements in how we detect, manage, and treat this condition. Staying informed about these developments is key to preserving your vision for years to come.
Macular degeneration, often referred to as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a condition that affects the macula—the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. There are two main types of AMD:
Early detection is critical in managing AMD. Many people with early-stage macular degeneration don’t experience noticeable symptoms, but advanced imaging during a comprehensive eye exam can catch the condition before significant damage occurs.
