Can you imagine going about your day with a blurry black dot obstructing your vision? That's what it's like for people with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
I recently spent a day wearing glasses that simulate AMD vision, and it was truly a challenge. Everyday tasks like commuting, reading, grocery shopping, and even eating required so much more focus and effort. I'll be honest — it was frustrating at times!
AMD is one of the leading causes of vision loss in adults over 50, but it can be managed with early detection. It was literally an eye-opening (no pun intended) experience, and I'm glad I got to learn so much about it.
Thank you Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for giving me this opportunity to gain a valuable insight.
If you know someone over 50, share this with them and encourage them to get screened. It's quick, simple, and could save their eyesight!
