Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a condition that affects the part of the eye that provides sharp, central vision needed for activities like reading and driving. It blurs this central vision, making it difficult to see details. It does not cause a blind spot to the side or clouding of the lens. While there is no cure for AMD, there are treatments available to help prevent further vision loss.
