Difficulty with your vision should not be dismissed as part of 'getting older'.

Macular degeneration may not be obvious to you in its early stages but can be detected with an eye test before any visual symptoms occur.

Early detection may allow you to take steps to slow the progression of macular degeneration.

The Amsler Grid is a useful tool to detect vision problems resulting from damage to the macula.
