Can I travel by air with macular degeneration?

QUESTION: Can I travel by air with macular degeneration?

ANSWER: There ARE some eye conditions where air flight isn’t recommended. Here’s a great article with a lot of them: ‘Can I Fly With This Eye?’ 

Macular degeneration is not included, but if you have ANY questions, don’t hesitate to ask your eye doctor. If you are being treated for wet AMD/CNV, ask your retinal specialist if you should wait a few days after a treatment before a flight.
