What is MD?
The macula is the central part of the retina at the back of the eye. The retina processes all vision. The macula allows you to read, recognise faces, drive; just about everything.
Macular degeneration causes progressive macular damage.
Common Symptoms
Straight lines appear wavy or bent
Difficulty reading
Difficulty distinguishing faces
Dark patches or empty spaces in vision
