7. Wavy or Crooked Lines: Early Sign of Macular Degeneration

Recognizing the Symptom

If straight lines—such as the edges of doors or text lines—appear wavy, crooked, or distorted, it’s a sign of macular degeneration or diabetic macular edema.

Why Is This Important?

The macula is responsible for sharp, central vision. Damage here can lead to permanent central vision loss.

How to Detect Early

• Use an Amsler grid daily to monitor vision at home
• Report distortions immediately to an eye specialist

Treatment Options
