9. Wavy lines

Macular degeneration is probably the number one cause of vision loss when it comes to the elderly. Dr. Gorski explains that this eye-related disease damages the central portion of your vision, and its symptoms are many, including black spots, blurry vision, and wavy lines.

Other signs of age-related macular degeneration could also be visual distortions, meaning you could see things smaller when, in reality, they are bigger. It can happen the other way around too. Unfortunately, macular degeneration is irreversible too.

It can be treated with injections, mineral and vitamin supplements, as well as laser therapy, but there’s no cure. Dr. Gorski concluded that anyone should go to the doctor as soon as they experience these signs and symptoms.
