MY MOTHER HAD MACULAR DEGENERATION. DOES THAT MEAN THAT I WILL HAVE IT?

It means the genetically you have a higher chance of getting it than those who do not have a family history. That does not mean that you will get it though. It normally does not start until your senior years and with regular vision check ups can be caught early and that can prolong vision.

It can be hereditary. Just make sure you go to the optometrist once a year.
