Know the five signs

Although AMD is most common among older people, other forms of macular disease can affect people of any age – even children. So whatever your age, please don't ignore the following signs of macular disease: the quicker you act, the more of your sight can be saved.

If you notice any of these, contact your optician immediately.

A smudge or shadow in your vision.
4
