Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula, the part of the retina used for detailed central vision. It may make reading, recognising faces or seeing fine detail more difficult.
Your options
Some macular changes are monitored while others may need treatment or closer review. Your consultant will discuss the findings and a care plan suited to your situation.
