Understanding Macular Degeneration
Protecting Your Vision Starts with Knowledge

Macular degeneration, particularly Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), is one of the leading causes of vision loss in individuals over 50. It affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision used for reading, driving, and recognizing faces.

There are two main types of AMD:

Dry AMD:

The more common form, caused by the thinning of the macula and the accumulation of tiny protein deposits called drusen.

Wet AMD:

A less common but more serious form, resulting from abnormal blood vessels growing under the retina, leading to rapid vision loss.

Signs and Symptoms

Early AMD often has no symptoms, but as it progresses, patients may notice:

Blurred or distorted central vision

Straight lines appearing wavy

Difficulty seeing in low light

A dark or empty area in the center of vision

Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection and management.

Managing Macular Degeneration

While there is no cure for AMD, lifestyle changes and targeted nutritional support can slow its progression and help preserve vision. Eye care professionals often recommend:

  • A healthy diet rich in leafy greens, fish, and colorful fruits
  • UV protection for the eyes
  • Smoking cessation
  • Nutritional supplements specifically designed for macular health.
