Macular degeneration is a non specific diagnosis. Age related macular degeneration occurs in the elderly. However, there are macular degenerations that start at various ages beginning in childhood.

Thank you for your response. Do you think this is something I should be very concerned about? I just got diagnaosed with Lesions on my Brain and Low Lying Tonsils,and I have been having a headache for 7mos and it is 24hrs a day. My vision is becoming distorted and blurry along with double vision. I have had episodes of blacking out (not passing out). I had my eyes checked to make sure there was no pressure behind my eyes and that is when I was diagnosed with Drusen and Macular Degeneration. Is there any correlation to the headaches or vision problems I am having? If there is any answers you can give me I would be very grateful.
It is possible that these problems are related. You should see a retinal specialist and a neuro-ophthalmologist.
