Do you see a brownish color haze in your vision?

Some people with AMD do experience changes in how they perceive colors, and this can sometimes appear as a haze or tint. As AMD progresses, damage to the macula can affect color vision in different ways.

Color vision changes are a known symptom of AMD. You might find it harder to distinguish between certain colors, especially yellows, purples, and pastels. Some people notice that colors appear less vibrant or that they see more shades of gray and black instead of bright colors.

Dark or colored spots can also occur with advanced AMD. These might appear black, gray, or even reddish in your central vision, particularly with geographic atrophy or when fluid builds up from wet AMD.

If this brownish haze appeared suddenly or has gotten worse quickly, it's important to contact your eye doctor right away. Sudden vision changes can sometimes signal progression to wet AMD, which needs prompt treatment.
