Can you get age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in only one eye or does it usually occur in both? [ 04/29/13 ]
It is possible to develop AMD in only one eye. However, as the disease progresses both eyes may become affected. If an individual has macular degeneration in one eye, he or she is more likely to develop it in the other eye than someone who does not.
