Macular Edema Symptoms

Macular edema is often painless and may display few symptoms when it develops. When symptoms do occur, they are a sign that the blood vessels in your eye may be leaking.

Symptoms of macular edema may include blurred or wavy central vision, or colors appear washed out or changed.

If you have macular edema symptoms, you should see an ophthalmologist right away. If left untreated, macular edema can cause severe vision loss and even blindness.
