Causes and Risk Factors
AMD typically goes unnoticed in its early stages. Some risk factors include smoking, age over 50, high-fat diet, hypertension, obesity, family history, heart disease, and high cholesterol levels, with Caucasians being more susceptible.
Early Detection Matters
Early detection is critical because AMD often shows no symptoms in the beginning. Waiting for noticeable vision issues can lead to irreversible damage.
Symptoms of AMD
Symptoms develop gradually and can include difficulty seeing in low light, blurriness, trouble recognizing faces, retinal damage, central vision loss, and distorted straight lines.
