Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in people over the age of 50 in the United States. While the exact cause of macular degeneration is being studied, we know that different genetic and age-related factors lead to an accelerated aging process in the eye. Macular degeneration affects only the central retina (macula) which is responsible for the clear vision required to read or drive. Although it usually affects both eyes, the eyes can be affected differently.
