Macular Degeneration Prognosis (Expectations)
Most people with mild dry macular degeneration will never have disabling central vision loss. However, there is no way to predict who will progress to a more severe form of the disease. This disorder results in the loss of central vision only -- macular degeneration cannot cause peripheral vision loss.
The wet form of macular degeneration often leads to significant vision loss.
