What Is Macular Degeneration?
Macular degeneration is a progressive eye condition affecting the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. It leads to central vision loss, making daily tasks difficult. This condition is challenging to diagnose independently because it often develops slowly and painlessly, with subtle vision changes that might go unnoticed until significant damage has occurred.
