"What causes a hazy crescent shape that comes and goes in my lower left eye when I have intermediate macular degeneration?"

With intermediate AMD, you may experience various vision changes including blurriness over larger areas in your central vision and blind spots (called scotomas). These symptoms can sometimes appear as temporary distortions or hazy shapes in your field of vision. It's important to monitor any new or changing vision symptoms carefully. Using an Amsler grid daily can help track these changes. Contact your eye doctor right away if you notice:

• New blind spots or hazy areas
• Straight lines appearing wavy or curved
• Changes in how colors appear
• Increased blurriness
• Any sudden changes in vision

These could indicate progression of your AMD and early detection is crucial for proper treatment.
