February is a month dedicated to love, care, and awareness. Among the various causes it champions, it is also recognized as AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration) and Low Vision Awareness Month. At Belmont Eye Center, we’re committed to bringing this important issue to light, offering insights, treatments, and preventive measures to help protect and enhance your vision. Understanding AMD and low vision is crucial for early detection and management, ensuring a better quality of life for those affected.

Understanding AMD and Low Vision

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss among people age 50 and older. It damages the macula, a small spot near the center of the retina, impairing central vision. Low vision, on the other hand, refers to visual impairment that cannot be corrected fully with glasses, contact lenses, medication, or surgery. It encompasses a range of conditions, including reduced visual acuity, poor night vision, and loss of peripheral vision. Both AMD and low vision can significantly impact daily activities, making awareness and early intervention key.
