Macular Degeneration: a leading cause of Blindness

Macular degeneration is a common chronic eye disorder that causes blurred or reduced central vision or a blind spot in your visual field due to thinning of the macula.

Symptoms may include:

  • Reduced central vision that may affect one or both eyes
  • Distorted vision (metamorphopsia) such as a grid of straight lines appearing wavy or bent.
  • Decreased intensity or brightness of colors
  • Adapting to low light levels becomes increasingly difficult, such as when entering a dark room or a dimly lit restaurant.
  • Increased blurriness of printed words or a general haziness in your overall vision or a well-defined blurry spot or a blind spot in your field of vision.
  • Difficulty recognizing faces.
