An eye disease causing loss of central vision, often with light sensitivity. General information does not establish eligibility, a diagnosis, documentation, or state acceptance.
Pull into your state bay
Macular degeneration is a progressive eye condition affecting the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. It is the leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50. The condition causes central vision to become blurred or distorted, and many patients develop increased sensitivity to bright light and glare. This light sensitivity can make outdoor activities and driving particularly challenging.
