Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Macular degeneration affects the central area of the retina called the macula, which is responsible for sharp, clear, central vision. As photoreceptors in the macula die, the patient's ability to see things clearly that are directly in front of them is impaired. Peripheral vision is typically preserved. The patient does not become completely blind but may experience significant vision loss or blindness in the center of their visual field. Color vision and night vision are also typically affected.
