AMD stands for age-related macular degeneration, a disease that breaks down the macula - the light-sensitive portion of the retina that allows you to see fine detail. It blurs the straight-ahead vision required for activities such as reading or driving. Risk factors for AMD include smoking, high blood pressure, obesity, and family history of AMD. Caucasians and females are more prone to AMD. February is AMD Awareness Month and we encourage all people, especially those at higher risk for this disease, to familiarize themselves with the potential symptoms and need for regular eye examinations,
