The Macula is the central area of our vision.

This central area is where we see the finest detail, like when we read.

The Macula is made up of a number of layers.

As we get older, deposits can form under these layers ...

... distorting the surface over a wide area.

This can lead to distortion in our vision.

As the condition progresses, the central area of our vision may be affected.

The condition will slowly get worse, increasing the amount of distortion.

Over time, reading aids may be required.
