This photo is an example of what may be seen by a person with central vision loss. This is representative of the most common cause of vision loss in elderly adults, macular degeneration; although this photo shows an advanced case. The macula is the area of sharpest vision, used for reading and seeing details. The peripheral vision is always less sharp, as seen in the photo.
