Age-Related Macular Degeneration
This booklet is for people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and their families and friends. It provides information about AMD and answers questions about its causes and symptoms. Diagnosis and types of treatment are described.

Don't Lose Sight of Age-Related Macular Degeneration
AMD is a common eye disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp, central vision. Central vision is needed for seeing objects clearly and for common daily tasks such as reading and driving. In some people, AMD advances so slowly that it will have little effect on their vision as they age. But in others, the disease progresses faster and may lead to a loss of vision in one or both eyes.

Saving Your Sight--Early Detection Is Critical
Sometimes eye diseases occur with the natural aging process. Other times, they run in families, in the same way that cancer or heart disease might. Diseases and conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure also increase the risk for eye problems. The leading causes of irreversible blindness--glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration--tend to come on silently, without pain or other symptoms in the earliest stages. The later an eye problem is diagnosed, the harder it becomes to treat. In some cases, any vision that has slipped away may be gone forever.
