What is Macular Degeneration?
Macular Degeneration, also known as Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), is a condition that damages the macula — the part of the retina responsible for central vision. It typically affects older adults and can make daily tasks such as reading, driving, and recognising people more difficult. Peripheral vision usually remains intact. Carrying an ICE card helps ensure that emergency staff understand your visual limitations and can assist you appropriately and respectfully.
