Does a concussion cause Macular degeneration

Two weeks before I got my eyes tested I triped over my dog. I got a concussion. Would this cause my retina to show Macular Degeneration?

  1. to clarify, were you diagnosed following the concussion? Head injury isn’t associated with age related macular degeneration but is a risk factor for other types. Here is a link that discusses this. https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/obvi/eyediseases/macular-degeneration.htm. Your doctor should be able to clear up any confusion about whether the concussion is related to your diagnosis. Have you fully recovered from your injury? Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader
