What is AMD and why should you pay attention?
One of Britain’s most beloved actors has spoken candidly about living with a condition that has affected her ability to go outdoors alone. Dame Judi Dench was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) 14 years ago, at the age of 76.

We asked an expert what AMD does to your eyes, the key symptoms to watch for, and steps you can take to help protect your sight.
