Age-related macular degeneration affects the central area of the retina, leading to a decline in central vision, commonly seen in older adults above 50, especially those with a family history of macular degeneration and smokers. Regular eye check-ups, a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, wearing sunglasses to protect against UV rays are recommended measures. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preserving vision as macular degeneration may result in vision loss or blindness. Prevention methods include protecting the eyes from UV and blue light, especially for older adults, individuals with a family history of macular degeneration, and those exposed to blue light from devices like phones.
