00:03Macular degeneration is an eye disorder that causes central vision loss.
00:09Central vision is what is seen while looking straight ahead.
00:12It is also known as age-related macular degeneration, or ARMD.
00:18The macula is a small area in the center of the retina, the back part of the eye, which transmits information to the brain.
00:25The macula is responsible for focusing central vision in the eye, and controls most of the important vision tasks like reading, driving, recognizing faces or colors, viewing road signs, and seeing objects in fine detail.
00:42When the cell of the macula deteriorates, images are not received correctly, resulting in blurred vision or no vision.
00:49Macular degeneration does not result in complete blindness, because it doesn't affect peripheral vision.
00:57Peripheral vision is what is seen on the side while looking straight ahead.
