Hi my mother is 68 years and has suddenly developed low vision, she cannot read properly and sometimes she also gets blackness in one eye. Since it was a serious condition we showed the doctor and he adviced it is macular degeneration of the retina and she may loose her eye sight. kindly tell me what are the causes of this condition?
