Dry macular degeneration that is also known as AMD disease is a common eye disorder among people over 50 years. It causes blurred or reduced central vision, due thinning of the macula, the part of the retina that is responsible for clear vision.
Early identification and self-care measures may postpone vision misfortune because of dry macular degeneration. If medication is ignored, the condition will lead to a situation that would ask for wet macular degeneration treatments, which could lead to loss of eyesight permanently. So treatment for the dry condition is needed.
Dry macular degeneration may initially create in one eye and after that influence both. After some time your vision may exacerbate and influence your capacity to do things, for example, read, drive and perceive faces. This will not lead to complete loss of eyesight.
Dry macular degeneration side effects generally grow progressively and without torment. They may include:
- Visual twists, for example, straight lines appearing to be distorted
- Decreased focal vision in one or both the eyes
- The requirement for more brilliant light when perusing or doing close work
- Expanded trouble adjusting to low light levels, for example, when entering a faintly lit café
- Expanded haziness of printed words
- Diminished power or splendour of hues
- Trouble perceiving faces
Patients are advised to visit the doctor if they see changes in their central vision or they face difficulty in seeing colours and fine details.
