Macular degeneration

Macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe vision loss in adults over age 50. Dr. Simran Toor, an optometrist in Olympia Washington, discusses causes, symptoms and prevention of macular degeneration, an eye condition which can affect your central vision. It is caused by damage to the back part of your eye called the macula which is responsible for your central vision. AMD can be classified as wet or dry. Wet form of AMD has a more severe impact on your central vision and is more difficult to manage. It can cause blurred vision, reduced contrast sensitivity, and inability to perform everyday activities like reading, walking, and driving. It is not possible to cure macular degeneration as there are several risk factors that are beyond our control, such as aging and having a family history of the disease. However, you can do other things to improve your retinal health and slow the progression of AMD like taking vitamins, wearing sun protection, and quitting smoking.
