No, not all people with AMD need to wear glasses. Some people with AMD may have had good vision without glasses before their diagnosis. For example, one myAMDteam member shared that she never needed glasses growing up and always had good vision before her AMD diagnosis.
However, many people with AMD do use various vision aids to help manage their condition, including:
• Prescription glasses
• Blue light blocking glasses
• Magnifying glasses
• Special makeup mirrors with magnification
• Adjustable lens glasses for portable magnification It's important to note that while glasses or contact lenses can help with some vision issues, they may not fully correct the central vision problems caused by AMD. Low vision can still make daily tasks difficult even with corrective lenses. The key is working with your eye care specialist to determine what combination of vision aids works best for your specific situation.
