Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common condition that affects the middle part of your vision. It usually first affects people in their 50s.
It does not cause total blindness, but it can make things like reading and recognising faces difficult.
Without treatment, your vision may get worse. This can happen gradually over several years, before it can then get worse quickly over a few weeks or months.
The exact cause is unknown. It's been linked to things such as ageing, smoking, high blood pressure, being overweight and having a family history of AMD.

The three of us had our Private Flu Jabs with Lords Pharmacy. The pharmacist we saw was brilliant. Firstly he brought us in all together rather than one at a time which made it a more personable service. He was so welcoming and very funny too! Will definitely be going back for any further jabs.

Great service today from Mrs Henderson and the pharmacy team! I was early for my appointment. The team dealt with me promptly and professionally.

Thank you for a quick turn around on some Libra Sensors for my father today, his original repeat prescription did not arrive, but after filling the correct forms we picked up the same day. Thank you so much....
