Macular Degeneration Support | See Life More Clearly
What is Macular Degeneration
Macular Degeneration (MD) is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, affecting the macula—the part of the retina that provides sharp, detailed vision. It can make reading, recognizing faces, and seeing fine details difficult. While it doesn’t cause total blindness, it can greatly impact quality of life without proper care and support
Early Signs & Symptoms
- Increased need for bright light
- Blurry or dark central vision
Two Types of AMD
- Dry AMD – The most common type (90%), caused by macular thinning and gradual vision loss.
- Wet AMD – Less common but severe, caused by leaking blood vessels that rapidly damage the macula.
