Aged macular degeneration treatment

Symptoms of aged macular degeneration (AMD)

The retina is a layer that covers the inside of your eyeball. Aged macular degeneration (or AMD) is a disease that breaks the sensitive cells of the macula, creating a blind spot at the centre of your vision. If you have AMD, you’ll be able to see things at the sides of your vision clearly, but the middle will be out of focus due to the damaged macula.

Symptoms of aged macular degeneration (AMD) are steady and can grow with time:

Dry AMD symptoms

Blurred vision when reading text, and needing brighter light when reading
A less vibrant colour scheme than usual

Wet AMD symptoms

All the symptoms of dry age-related macular degeneration
The blind spot in the centre of the eye becomes larger
Seeing straight lines as crooked or wavy (metamorphopsia)

Glasses with orange coloured lenses can improve the depth perception and the contrast enhancement for yourself, both indoors and outdoors.
