The Macula
is located in the back of the eye
and is responsible for our sharp,
clear, straight-ahead vision.
Damage to it results in blind
spots and blurred or
distorted vision.
What is Macular Degeneration?
Macular degeneration affects the retina, a paper-thin tissue lining the back of the ye, and causes the cells in the macular area to die. This may result in blind spots and distorted vision.
