What are the symptoms of age-related macular degeneration?

The macula helps send images from the eye’s optic nerve to the brain. If you have a damaged macula, your brain can’t understand or read the images that your eyes see.

Many people with age-related macular degeneration don’t have symptoms until the disease progresses. You may experience:

  • Blurred (low) vision.
  • Blank or dark spots in your field of vision.
  • The appearance of waves or curves in straight lines.
