AMD

Age related blindness: Macular Degeneration

What is AMD? Macular degeneration is a chronic and usually progressive disorder

that affects the central part of the retina (the macula) and causes reduced ability to see;

Macular degeneration causes a gradual loss of sharp, central vision;

Facts & Figures

Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in the United States & Europe and the frequency of this disorder increases with age;

Effects many millions;

Most people with this disorder are over the age of 50. The majority of affected people are between 75 and 80;

Males and females are equally affected.

Two forms: dry & wet Dry Macular Degeneration 90% of people with AMD have

this type. An area of the retina is affected, which leads to slow breakdown of cells in the macula, and a gradual loss of central vision;

Dry AMD often occurs in one eye first, but usually affects both eyes eventually.

To avoid wet AMD

Although only 10% of all people with AMD have this type, it accounts for 90% of all blindness from the disease.

As dry AMD progresses, new blood vessels may begin to grow and cause "wet" AMD. These new blood vessels often leak blood and fluid under the macula;

This causes rapid damage to the macula that can lead to loss of central vision in a short time.

One symptom of MD is dark areas in your central vision

Dry macular degeneration signs and symptoms
