==[[Macular degeneration causes|Causes]]==
Macular degeneration, in its advanced forms, can result in legal blindness, resulting in a loss of driving privileges and an inability to read all but very large type.  Perhaps the most grievous loss is the inability to see faces clearly or at all.


Some of these losses can be offset by the use of adaptive devices.  A closed-circuit television reader can make reading possible, and specialized screen-reading computer software, e.g., JAWS for Windows, can give the blind person access to word processing, spreadsheet, financial, and e-mail access.
