Macular degeneration develops when the macula (the part of the eye responsible for central vision) is unable to function as effectively as it used to. There are two main types of AMD, called 'dry AMD' and 'wet AMD'. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a painless eye condition that generally leads to the gradual loss of central vision but can sometimes cause a rapid reduction in vision. Central vision is used to see what is directly in front of you. In AMD, your central vision becomes increasingly blurred, leading to symptoms such as: difficulty reading because the text appears blurry colours appearing less vibrant difficulty recognising people's faces AMD usually affects both eyes, but the speed at which it progresses can vary from eye to eye. AMD does not affect the peripheral vision (outer vision), which means it will not cause complete blindness. http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/macular-degeneration/Pages/Introduction.aspx RD
