Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Macular degeneration is an eye disease that occurs when an area of your eye called the macula begins to deteriorate. The macula is responsible for our central vision and helps us see small, clear details of what’s right in front of us. These details are needed for everyday tasks such as reading, driving, and watching tv. In other words, the macula is very important to our quality of life because it has a direct impact on our vision and our perception.
