Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is an age-related reduction in one’s central vision, which can make it difficult to work, drive, etc. You will not go blind from AMD, but you must learn to adapt to the loss of your central vision through a number of changes in your life style.

As with many challenges in our lives, a positive and open attitude can be the most important change you can make. Knowing that others have learned to live with AMD may allow you to adapt more readily to the effects of AMD, but some specific changes can go a long way in helping adjust to the loss of your central vision.
