About Dry AMD
Dry AMD is the most prevalent, chronic form of age-related macular degeneration, accounting for about 90 percent of all cases. Dry AMD is a progressive disease, taking several years to go through three stages: early (no symptoms), intermediate (mild blurriness in central vision or difficulty seeing in low light) and late (distorted vision, a blurry area near the center of one’s vision). According to the National Eye Institute, there are no treatments available for late dry AMD.
