In glaucoma, individuals typically experience a loss of peripheral vision rather than central vision. This peripheral vision loss often begins gradually and can lead to tunnel vision in advanced stages of the disease. Central vision usually remains intact until later stages, when the condition may become more severe. Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection and management to help preserve vision.

What is glaucoma and how can it be prevented?
Glaucoma refers to a group of eye diseases all of which involve damage to the optic nerve. A fluid fills the eyeball, various things can cause the pressure of this fluid to be too high (something like high blood pressure). This high pressure in the eye can lead to optic nerve damage. African Americans and everyone over 60 are more susceptible, but anyone can be genetically predisposed to this problem. A most common symptom of glaucoma damage is 'tunnel vision" where you lose your peripheral (side-to-side) vision and can only see straight ahead. The most important step in prevention is regular visits to a doctor who checks the pressure of this fluid. It is not always possible to prevent glaucoma but usually, by treatment, damage can be prevented or minimized. Visit the associated link for more tips on prevention.
What is the mucsular dystrophy?
Macular Dystrophy or vitelliform dystrophy is a genetic eye disorder that can cause progressive vision loss. This disorder affects the retina, specifically cells in a small area near the center of the retina called the macula. The macula is responsible for sharp central vision, which is needed for detailed tasks such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces.DiagnosisVitelliform macular dystrophy causes a fatty yellow pigment (lipofuscin) to build up in cells underlying the macula. Over time, the abnormal accumulation of this substance can damage cells that are critical for clear central vision. As a result, people with this disorder often lose their central vision and may experience blurry or distorted vision. Vitelliform macular dystrophy does not affect side (peripheral) vision or the ability to see at night.
How long does it take to lose peripheral vision while staring?
There is no specific time frame for when individuals might start losing peripheral vision while staring.
