Today in Ireland, there are thousands of people with AMD. However, less than 1 in 7 of these will have wet AMD, the type of AMD that will cause rapid sight loss. The chances of getting AMD increase as you get older. However, most people develop the dry form, which is currently untreatable. Wet AMD - the type that causes rapid vision loss - can in many cases be treated and sight loss reduced, but early diagnosis is vital. In both cases, help and support is available from low vision services.
