Age Related Macular Degeneration Treatment in Yemen: early signs, risks and care pathways
Many older adults in Yemen live with blurred central vision without knowing why. This guide explains age related macular degeneration and what can be done.
Why age related changes happen
The macula slowly wears out with age as waste builds up and blood supply weakens. Smoking, family history and high blood pressure raise the risk.
Because early disease causes few symptoms, regular eye checks after the age of 50 are very valuable, even when glasses seem to be working fine.
