What is Macular Degeneration?
Age related macular degeneration is a medical condition which usually affects older adults that results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the macula) because of damage to the retina.
My research has shown that this is a very common condition that could potentially affect every older adult world wide. Although it is so common, not a lot of people have heard of it until they experience it. Therefore I will aim a vast proportion of my project towards this condition. It also shows that the definition of 'blind' can't be thrown in one pot, as each individual experiences different stages and forms.
