Macular degeneration is an eye condition that typically affects the elderly. It affects the macula, which is the center of the visual field located in the retina. It causes blurry vision, and can sometimes lead to blindness.

Other symptoms of macular degeneration include trouble discerning colors, distorted vision, loss of contrast sensitivity and reduced recovery after exposure to bright light.

Treatment for macular degeneration can include photodynamic therapy, laser treatment, surgery, and vitamin and mineral supplements.
