ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center joins with the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), the American Society of Retina Specialists, the Macula Society, and the Retina Society in informing the public about Age-Related Macular Degeneration Awareness Month. Age-Related Macular Degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness among older Americans. The ocular condition affects the center of a patient’s vision causing distortion, blind spots or fuzziness. While doctors do no know what causes Age-Related Macular Degeneration the disease seems to be associated with age.
