Glad you asked this! I have Intermediate also, and find it hard to go into brightly lit stores. It does cause me to feel like I’m off-balance also. Once in a while I’ll leave my sunglasses on in the store and it seems to help!

Yes, blurry central vision is a common symptom of intermediate AMD. During this stage, the area of blurriness can worsen and get bigger, though for many people it remains mild. You might notice this blurriness more when looking directly at objects in front of you, like items while shopping. Lighting can definitely affect your vision with AMD. You may have trouble adjusting to different lighting levels, like walking between brightly lit and darker areas of stores. Some people also find it harder to see during cloudy days or in low-light conditions. Using brighter lighting often helps, especially when trying to see details.
