What Is Macular Degeneration?
Macular Degeneration, often age-related (AMD), affects the central part of the retina, leading to blurry or lost central vision. It’s the leading cause of vision loss among people over 55 in Canada.
There are two main types:
Dry AMD: Gradual vision loss due to thinning of the macula.
Wet AMD: Faster progression caused by abnormal blood vessel growth.
Early Signs & Symptoms
Recognizing the signs early can help slow progression. Look out for:
Difficulty reading or recognizing faces
Straight lines appearing wavy
Increased need for bright light
Blurry or dark central vision
If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an assessment right away.
