  4. Stagesof MacularDegeneration Maculardegenerationhasthreestagesbasedonthe presence and size of drusen under the retina. These stages range from early with minimal drusen to advanced with large drusen or pigment changes. In neovascularAMD(wetAMD),abnormalbloodvessels grow beneath the retina, leading to rapid and severe damage. This can cause fluid leakage and blood, resultinginmacularswellingandimpairment.

  5. EARLYAMD Early AMD. Early age-related macular degeneration stage is diagnosed by the presence of medium-sized drusen, which are about the width of an average humanhair.AnAMDrisktestcanhelppeople determine whether to expect age-related macular degeneration.People withearlyAMD typically do nothavevisionloss.

  6. Intermediate Macular Degeneration People with intermediate AMD typically have large drusen,pigmentchangesintheretina,orboth. Again,these changes can onlybe detected during an eyeexam.IntermediateAMD may cause some vision loss, but most people will not experience any symptoms.
