macular degeneration
Macular degeneration is a common eye condition that causes deterioration of the macula, which is the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. This can result in blurred or distorted vision, making it difficult to see fine details. Age-related macular degeneration is the most common type, typically affecting people over the age of 50. It is important to monitor and manage this condition to prevent further vision loss.
