As dry AMD progresses, it can affect your ability to distinguish between certain colors. This happens because AMD damages the macula, which is the part of your retina responsible for helping you see colors and fine details.

Common color vision changes include:
- Difficulty telling similar colors apart (like blue and black)
- Colors appearing less vibrant or faded
- Problems with everyday tasks like matching clothes It's important to monitor these color vision changes along with other symptoms using tools like the Amsler grid. Regular monitoring helps your eye care specialist track the progression of your AMD and adjust treatment as needed. While these changes can be frustrating, they typically only affect your central vision while peripheral vision remains intact.
