Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a condition that affects the macula.
The central part of your retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision 👀 (This is the vision you use for reading, recognizing faces, and driving.)
In the early stages, you may not notice any changes to your vision at all!
Which is why routine eye exams are so important. Subtle changes can often be detected long before you experience symptoms.
How can you reduce your risk?
Age is the biggest risk factor but lifestyle plays a powerful role.
❌Don’t smoke
🥬Eat a diet rich in leafy greens
🌞Wear quality sunglasses to protect from UV exposure
Your overall health and eye health are closely connected!
