    A person with severe macular degeneration, who has lost the ability to see detail with each eye, rarely loses peripheral vision and is able to get along fairly well. It is very rare for someone with macular degeneration to lose both macular (detail) and peripheral (side) vision. Macular degeneration rarely causes total blindness. Almost all people with severe macular degeneration in each eye can see well enough to take care of themselves and continue activities that do not require detail vision.
