AMD and Low Vision Awareness
This month is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Low Vision Month.
What is AMD? Age-related macular degeneration is an eye disease that can blur your central vision. AMD is a leading cause of visual impairment for aging adults.
The macula controls your sharp straight-ahead vision. As you begin to lose this part of your vision, seeing faces or reading or driving becomes more difficult. Close-up work such as sewing or cooking is really difficult.
This vision loss can happen slowly over time. Complete and regular eye exams are very important.
