Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a medical condition that may result in blurred or no vision in the center of the visual field. It is often found in old people. AMD is one of the reasons causing visual degeneration, or even blindness, in old people, especially those in their 50s and older.

Meanwhile, in wet form AMD, which accounts for less than 20% of the cases, blood vessels grow under the macula, causing blood and fluid to leak into the retina. This is more dangerous and may cause blindness. AMD symptoms include blurred vision, especially in weak light condition, and difficulty […]
