What is Macular Degeneration, and How Does it Affect Your Vision?
Macular degeneration is a progressive eye condition affecting the macula, a small but critical part of the retina responsible for central vision. As it deteriorates, it can disrupt your ability to see fine details, recognize faces, and read.
This condition typically develops with age and can manifest in two forms: dry and wet macular degeneration. Dry macular degeneration involves the gradual breakdown of the macula’s light-sensitive cells, while wet macular degeneration is characterized by the growth of abnormal blood vessels beneath the macula.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration often begins subtly, with no early symptoms. However, as the condition advances, you may notice:
- Blurred or distorted central vision
- The appearance of dark or empty spots in your vision
- Difficulty recognizing faces or reading
- Altered color perception
- Straight lines appearing wavy or distorted
