Macular Degeneration Eye Disease

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a painless eye condition that leads to the gradual loss of central vision.

Central vision is used to see what is directly in front of you, during activities such as reading or watching television for example.

The central vision becomes increasingly blurred leading to symptoms including:

• difficulty reading printed or written text (because it appears blurry)
• colours appear 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.

Be sure to contact the friendly and knowledgeable team at Diamond Optical in Victoria, BC with any questions or concerns you have about macular degeneration. We will be happy to hear from you and help with any of your macular degeneration concerns.
