The most common form of inherited macular degeneration. It is associated with progressive central vision loss due to the deterioration of the macula’s photoreceptor cells (rods and cones). Total blindness is rare. Its symptoms include grey-black spots in the central vision, light sensitivity, and colour blindness.
