How common is Macular Degeneration? Is it genetic? I'm sure I have it, and have had an eye exam in over 10 years. Thank you for this info. I have watched many videos about this. Most of the videos I've watched were much older. I so happy to hear that there are treatments now. Bless you.

Hello Angela, thank you for your comment. More information about AMD is available at www.asrs.org/AMD. Dilated retinal exams are critical to diagnosing AMD so getting an exam with an eye physician is important to preserve healthy vision.
