Macular Degeneration – Types, Symptoms, Causes and Treatment
Macular degeneration is a disorder that affects central vision – what you see directly in front of you as opposed to your peripheral or side vision. The macula is the central portion of the retina, the paper-thin tissue at the back of the eye where light-sensitive cells send visual signals to the brain, and is responsible for detailed vision.
Macular degeneration occurs when the central part of the retina deteriorates. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD) is the most common eye disease and is in fact the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in the United States in people over the age of 50.
Damage to the macula results in the development of blind spots and blurred or distorted vision and can hamper your ability to perform basic activities of daily living such as reading and driving.
