Eye condition
Damage to the macula, the centre of the retina, usually after 50. Central vision blurs while side vision is kept. The 'wet' form can progress quickly and needs prompt treatment.
At a glance
Book an eye check if reading gets harder or lines look wavy. Get same-day eye care for sudden distortion or a new dark patch in central vision.
The doctor decides which you need. Every test is done at the clinic.
