Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that can blur your central vision. It happens when ageing causes damage to the macula — the part of the eye that controls sharp, straight-ahead vision. The macula is part of the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye).

AMD is the leading cause of vision loss for older adults. AMD doesn’t cause complete blindness, but losing your central vision can make it harder to perform daily activities such as reading, driving, or doing close-up work like cooking or fixing things around the house.
