There're two kinds of macular degeneration, namely dry and wet. Dry is a more common type, and wet degeneration is rare but lethal. Below are symptoms of dry degeneration: - Difficulty in adapting to low light levels or needing brighter light when reading or doing close work - Gradual increase in the haziness of your central or overall vision - Difficulty in recognizing faces - A blurred or blind spot in the center of your field of vision You can see the change in overall eyesight because even if one eye is affected, the other compensates for the weaker eye.
