Wet AMD happens when tiny, abnormal blood vessels grow under the center of the retina, the part of the eye responsible for sharp vision. These vessels can leak fluid or blood, which can damage vision fairly quickly. People often notice straight lines looking wavy, a blurry or dark spot in the center of their vision, or trouble reading and recognizing faces. Treatment can help slow the disease and sometimes improve vision, allowing many people to get back to everyday activities like reading, driving, or seeing loved ones clearly.
