What is age-related macular degeneration (AMD)?
Age-related macular degeneration is a disease of the macula, the central area of the retina. This area is responsible, among other things, for recognizing fine details, reading, and central sharp vision.
In the course of AMD, central vision can become increasingly impaired. Regular eye examinations are therefore particularly important.
