Does dry AMD cause eye discharge or gunk?

Dry AMD typically doesn't cause eye discharge, boogers, or gunk. The condition affects the macula in the back of your eye, leading to vision changes rather than producing discharge.

Common symptoms of dry AMD include:
* Blurry central vision
* Difficulty seeing in low light
* Straight lines appearing wavy
* Dark spots in the center of your vision
* Needing more light to read

Dry AMD is also painless and doesn't cause redness, tearing, or the type of discharge you're describing.

If you're experiencing eye discharge or gunk, it's worth mentioning to your eye doctor. While it's not a typical symptom of dry AMD, they can help determine what might be causing it and whether it needs treatment.
