Collection: Age Related Macular Degeneration

Typically age-related, this condition affects the central vision. While it cannot be cured, laser therapy, injections, and vitamins may slow its progression. Lifestyle choices, such as a diet rich in antioxidants, can also mitigate risk. Photosensitivity, or light sensitivity, is a common symptom of macular degeneration, making bright lights and glare uncomfortable. This occurs because the macula, which is damaged in the disease, is responsible for sharp, central vision and contains many light-sensitive cone cells.
