What are some early signs of Macular Degeneration?


i see this blurry shadow'd dot (floater) around the middle of my vision constantly. I've only noticed it the past year. But im only 20 and went to the eye doctors and they see no signs of anything. I actually had cancer in my other eye when i was 2 years old, (retnoblastoma)-sp? ....so i only have one eye i can see out of. well thanks

MD usually manifests at older age around 45-60 majority of cases ,u are very young and the odds are in your favour it isnt md ,it can be an allegry conjunctivits with occasional blurriness when it compresses the cornea(the papillae and follicles most likely ) it will resol;ve by itself ,usually any conjunctival or eyelid allergies or infections blur the cornea sometimes ,it sounds u dont have any retinal or intraocualr pathology ,hope helpful

I started to joke and say blindness until I saw the serious nature of the question. Why would you be asking that question here? Ask the doctor or get another opinion.

Earf!

The first sign of macular degeneration is metamorphopsia. This means distortion of vision. For instance, if you look at a tile floor with one eye at a time the tiles will not all be the same size or if you look at a telephone pole it will be bent in the middle. With only one eye, you shoud see an ophthalmogist now and on a regular basis.
