Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a common eye condition that affects older adults, leading to a gradual loss of vision. It occurs when the central part of the retina, called the macula, deteriorates, making it difficult to see fine details. People with AMD may struggle with tasks like reading, driving, or recognizing faces. There are two main types of AMD: dry and wet. The dry form is more common and progresses slowly, while the wet form can cause rapid vision loss due to abnormal blood vessel growth. Regular eye exams can help detect AMD early, allowing for better management and treatment options.
