sthat damage the macula, the small area in the retina responsible for central vision. The main causes and risk factors include:

Aging

| ● | The                                                                     
 most significant cause, the risk of AMD increases sharply after age 50. |
| ● | Over                                                                    
 time, the cells in the macula break down, leading to vision loss.       |

Genetics and Family History

| ● | Having                                                                
 a family history of AMD increases your risk.                          |
| ● | Certain                                                               
 genes (like CFH and ARMS2) have been linked to higher susceptibility. |

Smoking

| ● | Smoking                                                           
 doubles or even triples the risk of developing AMD.               |
| ● | It                                                                
 reduces blood flow and oxygen to the retina, accelerating damage. |

Poor Diet and Nutrition

| ● | Diets                                                                                    
 low in antioxidants (like vitamins C and E), zinc, lutein, and zeaxanthin can contribute 
 to macular damage.                                                                       |
| ● | High                                                                                     
 intake of saturated fats and processed foods increases risk.                             |

Sun Exposure

| ● | Long-term                                                     
 exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light may damage retinal tissue. |

Cardiovascular Factors

| ● | High                                                                                             
 blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity can affect blood vessels in the eye and contribute 
 to AMD.                                                                                          |

Other Risk Factors

| ● | Light-colored                                              
 eyes (which are more sensitive to sunlight)                |
| ● | Female                                                     
 gender (slightly higher prevalence)                        |
| ● | Prolonged                                                  
 exposure to blue light (potentially contributes over time) |

Symptoms of AMD

The symptoms of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) vary depending on the stage of the disease. Dry AMD develops in three stages, early, intermediate, and late, and because it’s a progressive condition, symptoms typically worsen over time.

| ● | Early                                                                                          
 dry AMD: Usually causes no noticeable symptoms.                                                |
| ● | Intermediate                                                                                   
 dry AMD: Some people may still have no symptoms, while others might experience mild blurriness 
 in central vision or difficulty seeing in dim light.                                           |

 AMD (dry or wet): Vision changes become more apparent. Straight lines may begin to appear 
 wavy or distorted, and a blurry or blank spot may develop near
