Causes of vision loss

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD): AMD is a condition that affects the macula, which is responsible for clear central vision. AMD is more common in older adults and can result in blurred or distorted vision.

Cataracts: Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to blurry vision. Age often causes cataracts, but other factors like injury or certain medications can also cause them.

Glaucoma harms the optic nerve, which sends visual information from the eye to the brain. It is a group of eye conditions. Increased pressure in the eye is a common cause of glaucoma.

Diabetic retinopathy: This condition occurs in individuals with diabetes and affects the blood vessels in the retina. It can lead to vision loss if left untreated.

It's important to note that this is just a brief overview, and there are many other causes of vision loss. If you have trouble seeing, schedule an appointment with an eye doctor for a diagnosis and treatment.
