One of the most important early signs of AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration) is distorted vision, often starting in one eye.
Look at something you know is straight, like a door frame or window blinds. If straight lines start to look wavy, bent or distorted, book an appointment with your community optometrist. New distortion can be a sign of wet AMD. The sooner it is picked up, the better the chance of treatment slowing further vision loss.
Speak to your community optometrist if changes in vision are affecting daily life. Early advice and support can make a meaningful difference!
