Many age-related diseases and conditions have no warning signs! Luckily, they can be detected in their early stages during a comprehensive dilated eye exam. Tell your older friends and family to get an exam and protect their sight!

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that can blur your central vision. By itself, it cannot lead to complete blindness, though the loss of central vision can make even simple tasks hard.
