What Is Macular Degeneration?

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a serious eye disease that affects the macula, the key part of your retina that controls your central vision. AMD can eventually cause irreversible central blindness, where you essentially have a hole in the middle of your visual field.

Macular degeneration has two main types: wet and dry. Dry is the most common type, and it occurs over a longer period when fat clusters called drusen form under the macula, causing it to thin and hinder your central vision. Wet AMD develops more quickly as blood vessels build up abnormally under the macula, which can leak onto the retina. This type of AMD requires immediate intervention. Many people don’t know they have AMD until vision loss has already occurred, because by the time you notice symptoms, the damage has already been done.

Do You Have Macular Degeneration?

Since it doesn’t show signs until irreparable harm has already been done to your eyesight, it’s important to get regular eye exams to catch it early. Once the condition has started to progress, you may notice symptoms like hazy-looking vision, trouble recognizing faces, difficulty seeing up close and far away, a central blind spot in your sight, and straight lines that look wavy.

Diagnostics & Solutions

There is no cure for AMD, so the best way to remain ahead of the damage it causes is to catch it early in a comprehensive eye exam. From there, we’ll customize a plan that allows us to monitor your condition and stay on top of your eye health. And because we believe in well-rounded care, we also prescribe supplements as part of your daily regimen to support your retinal health and fight against AMD. With the help of our knowledgeable experts who put you first, you’ll always have the support and solutions you need!

Advanced Technology

Advanced Technology

We approach macular degeneration in a way that’s proactive, not reactive, by doing in-depth screenings for all kinds of ocular diseases, including AMD. We use specialized methods, like optical coherence tomography, fundus photography, and slit lamp examinations to get high resolution images and a magnified firsthand view of your inner eye. This way, we can spot AMD — even before it’s done damage — and monitor it between visits.

Individualized Management Plans

Individualized Management Plans

Our practice has never believed in simply diagnosing you and then sending you away without a detailed eye care plan. If you have AMD, we’ll learn about you and your eyes, and identify anything that poses a risk to your macula. We’ll also fold in other diet and activity recommendations to your management plan that can help you stay ahead of AMD.

Supplements

Supplements

One of the ways we treat macular degeneration is by prescribing nutraceuticals, which provide the necessary vitamins, minerals, and ingredients proven to help slow its progression and fortify your retina against damage. Our doctors know exactly which trusted supplements to recommend as part of your defense against AMD and will educate you on how they keep your eyes and vision healthy.
