Of the 140 respondents, 87 (62.1%) reported being ‘aware’ of AMD. Fourteen (10%) had previously been diagnosed with AMD. Out of these 14 patients (71.4%), 10 were able to provide a correct description of the symptoms of AMD. For those patients without a prior diagnosis, only 47/126 (37.3%) were able to correctly report the symptoms of AMD. There was a significant difference when comparing the responses of those who had a previous diagnosis of AMD to those without AMD (P=0.013). Overall, female respondents were more likely than male respondents to report awareness of AMD (P=0.015) (table 2). Increased awareness of AMD was also seen with higher levels of education (P=0.001).
