February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Low Vision Month

AMD is the leading cause of blindness among older Americans; however, recent advancements in treatment have significantly changed the management of this disease over the past decade, making it more controllable and treatable than ever, with early detection being a crucial first step.
