Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): Overview, Risk Factors, and Symptoms

AMD is an eye condition that damages the macula, the part of the retina responsible for clear, central vision. It often affects older adults, making tasks like reading and recognizing faces harder.

  • Dry AMD: The most common type, causing gradual vision loss as the macula thins.
  • Wet AMD: Less common but more severe, leading to sudden vision loss due to leaking blood vessels.
  • Getting Older: People over 60 are at a higher risk.
  • Family History: AMD can run in families.
  • Smoking: Smoking damages the eyes and raises the risk.
  • High Blood Pressure: Poor blood flow can harm the retina.
  • Unhealthy Diet: A lack of fruits, vegetables, and essential nutrients can impact eye health.
  • UV Exposure: Excessive sunlight without eye protection can damage the retina.
  • Blurry vision, especially when reading
  • Dark or empty spots in the center of vision
  • Straight lines appearing wavy
  • Dull or faded colors
  • Difficulty recognizing faces

FAQ

Your Questions, Our Expertise: Find Answers to Your Eye Care Needs
What is the retina and why is it important?

The retina is a thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye that senses light and sends visual signals to the brain. It’s essential for clear, sharp vision.

Some common retinal conditions include diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, and retinal vein occlusion.

Symptoms may include blurry or distorted vision, floaters, flashes of light, sudden vision loss, or dark spots in your visual field.

Retinal conditions are diagnosed through detailed eye exams and advanced imaging techniques such as OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and retinal angiography.

Yes, many retina conditions can be managed or treated with medication, laser therapy, or surgery. Early detection is key to preserving vision.
