Age-related Macular Degeneration

Age-related Macular Degeneration - Symptoms

In early Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), the impact on vision is generally mild or even non-existent. However, as the disease progresses, symptoms may include:

  • Blurring of central vision (may be gradual or rapid in onset)
  • Shadows or missing areas of vision
  • Distorted vision (e.g. straight lines appear wavy)
  • Problems discerning colours, especially differentiating between similar colours
  • Slow recovery of visual function after exposure to bright light
  • Loss of contrast sensitivity (ability to tell different levels of brightness apart)
