Can young people go blind with macular degeneration

Young people with macular degeneration may go blind and need to be seen promptly for treatment.
Whether or not you will go blind after developing macular degeneration depends on the type of macular degeneration, the condition, and other factors, and cannot be generalized. If a young person develops macular degeneration without timely treatment, it may lead to retinal atrophy, detachment and other conditions, which may lead to blindness. However, if the degree of macular degeneration is mild, treatment can effectively relieve the symptoms of macular degeneration, thus avoiding blindness.
For some people with serious conditions, it is recommended that they should go to the hospital in time for treatment under the guidance of their doctors so that the macular degeneration can be controlled. Therefore, once you suffer from macular degeneration, you need to consult a doctor as soon as possible to avoid delaying the best treatment time.
