ARMD is a common age-related eye problem that affects central vision, making activities like reading and recognizing faces difficult. It primarily affects people over 50 and involves the gradual deterioration of the macula — the part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision.

Key Facts:

• Major cause of vision loss in older adults.
• Two main types: Dry (common) and Wet (serious, rapid progression).
• Symptoms include blurry central vision and difficulty seeing fine details.
• Early diagnosis and treatment can slow down vision loss.
• Treatments may involve anti-VEGF injections, laser therapy, and lifestyle adjustments.
