Age-related macular degeneration, often called AMD, usually affects older adults and results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the macula) because of damage to the retina. It occurs in âdryâ and âwetâ forms, and is a major cause of blindness and visual impairment in adults over 50 years of age.
In adults, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration are two of the leading causes of blindness, and both appear to be inherited in a large portion of cases. Researchers have mapped several genes for glaucoma and are starting to identify genes involved in macular degeneration.enetics also play a role in vision problems that occur in otherwise healthy eyes. Genetic ophthalmologic researchers now have evidence that the most common vision problems among children and adults are genetically determined.
