What are the Symptoms of Age-Related Macular Degeneration?

In its early stages, Age-Related Macular Degeneration may not have symptoms and may go unrecognized until it progresses or affects both eyes. However, Age-Related Macular Degeneration can be detected in routine eye exams.

The first sign of Macular degeneration is usually distortion of straight lines. This may progress to a gradual loss of central vision.

Other symptoms of Macular Degeneration include:

Straight lines start to appear distorted, or the center of vision becomes distorted.
Dark, blurry areas or white spots appear in the center of vision.
Diminished or changed color perception.

If you experience any of these symptoms, see Dr. Vuong as soon as possible.

What are Cataracts and what are their symptoms?

Cataracts are cloudy areas in the lens of the eye that can cause changes in vision. Symptoms of Cataracts include cloudy or fuzzy vision, as well as sensitivity to glare. Cataracts can be treated with surgery.

Not all Cataracts impair vision or affect daily living. For those that do, common symptoms include:

Cloudy, fuzzy, foggy, or filmy vision.
Glare from lamps or the sun, which may be severe.
Difficulty driving at night due to glare from headlights.
Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription.
Double vision.
Second sight.
Difficulty performing daily activities because of vision problems.

If you suffer from any of these symptoms, have severe pain in your eyes, or have constant, sudden changes in your vision, call MGH Eye Clinic immediately to discuss your treatment options. Only an ophthalmologist can treat Cataracts and help with the decision to have eye surgery, if necessary. If you are having ANY of these symptoms, call MGH Eye Clinic today for an appointment at (360) 426-8717.
