Age related macular degeneration, or AMD, is the leading cause of blindness in people over the age of eighty in the United States. Macular degeneration can affect people as young as the age of fifty. It is more prevalent among people with a family history of the disease and people with light colored eyes. There is no known medical cure for macular degeneration. It leads to eventual blindness in central vision. The less common wet macular degeneration requires immediate surgery, versus dry macular degeneration. Most people afflicted with either form of macular degeneration will lose their central vision and color vision unless they take steps to prevent this from happening.
