Macular Degeneration: You would be very young for macular degeneration, but you are also very young to be seeing yellow spots due to any reason. Macular degeneration is one of the most common causes of blindness. It is a condition that affects our central vision, the area where the retina is. The dry type starting usually late 30's is signified by patients complaining of seeing yellow spots, is the most common.

Yellow spots: This is an unusual visual symptom. In macular degeneration, yellow deposits are found in the retina, but visual symptoms are distorted vision and loss of vision. Some medications can cause a yellowish cast to the vision if the dosage is too high (digoxin). Some floaters might be perceived as spots, and a visual migraine could rarely look like this. Consider an eye exam to be sure all is ok.
