A)Symptoms of age-related macular degeneration usually develop gradually and include needing more light to read, blurriness of print, or a blurred or blind spot in the central vision. The macular degeneration is likely nonexudative (dry)because that is the more common kind and it develops before the exudative (wet)type. Cloudy vision is seen with cataracts. When the retina detaches, the client experiences floaters, or spots, and lines or flashes of light in the visual field.
