Visual impairment in old age: understanding and treating age-related macular degeneration

Good vision contributes significantly to quality of life. Changes in visual acuity can therefore be unsettling - especially if they occur suddenly or for no apparent reason. Age-related macular degeneration is one of the most common causes of impaired central vision. It often develops gradually and is not always noticed immediately. In this article, we give you a clear overview of the disease, typical signs, risk factors and modern treatment options. Our aim is to provide guidance and show how those affected can lead as self-determined and good a life as possible despite visual impairments.
