Understanding Macular Degeneration: Symptoms and Treatments

Macular degeneration is a chronic eye condition that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. As the macula deteriorates, it becomes increasingly difficult to perform everyday tasks, such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces. Macular degeneration is often associated with aging, which is why it's also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, there are other forms of the condition, each with its own unique characteristics and treatment approaches.
