How does AMD affect driving?

[Miles]

I know that it is quite dangerous for people with AMD to drive. How does AMD affect driving?

[Kaleb]

People who have AMD can not see other cars clearly on sunny days because the glare reflected from the surface of other cars will affect the AMD drivers' vision. In this case, these people should wear sunglasses which can help reduce glare while driving on sunny days. Drivers with macular degeneration have difficult seeing objects in an environment with low contrast. So people who have AMD are not suitable for night driving.

As we know, AMD in a severe stage can cause blindness. In sunny day, The most troublesome for AMD patients is the glares. And people with AMD are troublesome in recognizing faces, reading, and driving a car. If you suffer AMD but have to drive, you'd better prepare a pair of good quality polarized sunglasses so as to protect the eyes as well as give you comfortable and clear vision.
