Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is an eye condition where the central part of the retina, or the macula, deteriorates due to wear and tear over time. It is a non-curable condition that causes loss of central vision and requires long-term treatment and management to help maintain quality of life. Although AMD does not lead to total blindness, it can severely limit vision quality. It tends to get worse over time and is considered as an age-related condition. Macular degeneration can be wet macular degeneration or dry macular degeneration.
