Macular degeneration is one of the most dangerous eye problems and diseases that cause vision loss or even blindness. Old individuals involve high risks of causing age related macular degeneration. This eye disease can affect only one eye or both eyes. While dry form macular degeneration is chronic, wet AMD progresses quite quickly. At a certain stage, both of the two forms of macular degeneration have some symptoms. Dry macular degeneration is usually caused by yellow or off-white deposits under the retina. This buildup of drusen reaching a certain amount will significantly increase the risk of developing age related macular degeneration. In general, AMD affects only the central vision, so that an indicating symptom of AMD is a blurry, dark or blank spot in the central vision. AMD patients may also experience some other symptoms or signs, such as difficulty distinguishing colors, details including a book or faces, or seeing at a distance. Double vision is also a common symptom of age related macular degeneration. In addition, some AMD patients will perceive wavy or bent lines that are normally straight. All those symptoms are potential signs of age related macular degeneration. For ordinary individuals, it is simple to take use of an Amsler Grid or a Macular Degeneration Grid, which consists of horizontal and vertical lines. Using this device, people can detect an obvious symptom of age related macular degeneration. The straight lines on an Amsler Grid will appear wavy through an AMD patient. In this way, this grid can indicate a problem with the retina. Ordinary people can keep an Amsler Grid at home and monitor their vision by themselves. Detecting the mentioned sign using an Amsler Grid, patients should visit an eye doctor as soon as possible in order to get exact diagnosis. Of courses, other symptoms such as double vision and inability to perceive colors should also be checked by an eye doctor.
