New Nationwide Study on Leading Cause of Vision Loss for Seniors

MD damages the macula, the small area near the center of the retina that blurs central vision. Wet AMD, also known as vascular AMD, is caused by abnormal blood vessel growth under the macula, leading to loss of central vision. Dry AMD, which is the more common and less severe form, occurs when light-sensitive cells in the macula slowly break down.

“Until we get the results from this new study, we encourage people with AMD to visit their ophthalmologist to see if they need to take vitamins and minerals. This alone could save many people from vision loss over the next five years,” Dr. He said.
