Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a common eye condition that primarily affects people over the age of 50. It damages the macula—the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision needed for activities like reading, driving, and recognizing faces. While AMD doesn’t cause complete blindness, it can significantly impact your quality of life if left untreated. Understanding its early signs and knowing how to manage it effectively can help preserve your vision for years to come.
