Macular degeneration, an eye condition that damages the macula, causes central vision loss as one of its symptoms (the centre of the light-sensitive retina at the back of the eye). Central vision becomes hazy as a result of an eye condition known as AMD. It happens when ageing damages the macula, which is a component of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue in the rear of the eye. There are two types of age-related macular degeneration: dry and wet. The most typical form of AMD is dry AMD. The macula becomes thinner at this point as we age. Dry macular degeneration is a prevalent eye disorder that affects persons over 50. Wet AMD is characterised by leaky blood vessels in the eye, which leads to a rapid and progressive loss of central vision.
