Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Overview

Nothing is more precious than our eye sight. Our eyes allow us to enjoy the beauty of the world around us. So much of what we learn, what we experience, and what we enjoy comes to us through our eyes. As you look at the world around you, you think of how valuable your vision is. Now, think of how your world would be if you were losing your eye sight to Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Age-Related Macular Degeneration is a disease that steals our central vision often without symptoms. Every year millions of people around the world develop Age-Related Macular Degeneration, and each day without treatment can bring them one step closer to blindness.
