Dear Reader,

I am sure that you have heard of age related macular degeneration and you probably even know someone, a family member or friend, who is suffering from it. I know of two people personally.

Macular degeneration is a chronic eye disease marked by deterioration of the Macula, the center part of the retina. This deterioration causes loss of central vision.  Central vision is necessary for Just about everything such as driving, reading, recognizing things like faces and even in doing detail work. Just think if you had a blind spot right in the middle of your vision.

AMD rarely (but it does) causes total blindness, it  does cause blind spots in the victim’s central vision and it does worsen the quality of their life.
