I searched for AMD, but couldn't find it! I would be thankful if you could specify a link so that I could know about the symptoms! By the way, this man has been injected the dexametazone and betametazone for five days, but hasn't recovered! Again tnx to Guess and Deb8er for your answeres! :) I also saw the symptoms about the macula degeneration, but I don't think that would be it, cause in that case it's said "The eye still sees objects to the side, since side (peripheral vision) is usually not affected." But this isn't the way this man sees object! Reffering to what the doctors had said I think they first thought it was macular degeneration but after a while they noticed it wasn't! They have also said it was sth. to do with the optical nerves of the patient! That's why I wanna know what the AMD(refering to what Guess said) is!

Try Age Related Macular Degeneration. Computers are nifty most of the time- and sometimes you need specific information to search with.....

(see my recent answer to your older question)
Try searching for
Age-Related Maculopathy, ARM,
which is one of several names for the same group of conditions:
AMD: Age-related Macular Disease/Degeneration,
or SMD: Senile Macular Degeneration
(which we're not supposed to use any more, because the public mis-understand the word "senile". If it meant what they often think it means, "senile dementia " would be a tautology)
