Does any other eye disease such as cataract, glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy have an impact on MD?
No. Other eye diseases or complaints have no impact on the incidence, severity or outcome of Macular Degeneration. Of course many eye complaints may result in cause vision loss or disturbance to varying degrees and if you have central vision loss due to MD, other visual symptoms can exacerbate your vision loss, but clinically they do not affect the actual disease process.
