You may not have symptoms at the early stages of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and there is no pain, so having regular annual eye exams if the best way to detect if you have AMD.

Here are the early signs and symptoms of Age-related Macular Degeneration:

  • at first, slightly blurred vision close up and far away
  • fuzzy or blurred vision in the center growing larger as it develops
  • blind spots
  • color and detail distortion
  • difficulty driving, reading, or watching TV
  • contrast sensitivity diminishes, subtle changes in texture become hard to detect, making it difficult to navigate walking
  • light level change intolerance
  • requires more light regularly
  • impaired depth perception

Any or all of these could signal that you may be dealing with AMD. Be sure to have your eyes and vision checked regularly each year.
