👁️ AMD Awareness Month 👁️
What is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)?
AMD is an eye disease that affects central vision, making everyday activities like reading, driving, and recognizing faces more difficult.
Age is a major risk factor, and AMD is the leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50 in North America. It occurs when waste builds up in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision.
AMD can progress slowly for some and more quickly for others—often without early warning signs. That’s why routine eye exams are essential for early detection and vision protection.
