Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that may worsen over time. It is the leading cause of severe, permanent vision loss in people over 60. Because the disease happens as you age, it is often called age-related macular degeneration. It usually does not cause blindness but may cause severe vision problems. Another form of macular degeneration, called Stargardt disease or juvenile macular degeneration, affects children and young adults.
Symptoms of macular degeneration may include:
Though there’s no cure for macular degeneration, treatment may slow it down or keep you from losing too much of your vision.
