Does a white haze light indicate macular degeneration?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am a 33-year-old female. Sometimes, when I do my work, my vision seems like a white haze. It looks like everything has a white haze light. It is pure, not like a fog or a dirty color. Sometimes, it lasts for a few minutes, and sometimes for a few seconds. Sometimes, I see it, and on some days, I cannot see it. Does this indicate that I started having macular degeneration?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Using computers and smartphones causes dry eye due to decreased blink rate. Take frequent breaks. Look at far objects as eyes get strained looking at close things for a long time. Keep brightness minimal. Use Flogel HA (Sodium hyaluronate) eye drops after consulting a specialist doctor. Use antiglare glasses. You can get a regular eye checkup and a retina scan if the above remedy does not work. I hope this information will help. Thank you.
