"Getting old ain't for sissies," the actress Bette Davis once said. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the more difficult challenges many older people face. AMD, which affects 13 million people in the United States, is the leading cause of vision loss in people over 60 years old. AMD affects the macula of the eye, the most sensitive area of the retina, containing millions of tiny light receptors. People with AMD gradually lose sight in the central part of their field of vision, losing the ability to recognize faces and perform routine tasks such as reading and driving.
