What is the prognosis (outlook) for people with age-related macular degeneration?

Not everyone who has AMD experiences significant vision loss. With dry AMD, vision loss can happen slowly and take a long time to occur. Because the condition can affect just one eye, you may not notice any change in vision. Sometimes, vision loss is so severe that you’re considered legally blind. To see better, you might:

• Wear eyeglasses or contact lenses.
• Use brighter lights at home or work.
• Read with a magnifying device.
