Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) develops when your macula — the part of your retina that’s responsible for central vision — becomes damaged. The two main types of macular degeneration are dry and wet, and both can lead to vision loss. Dry AMD develops slowly as you age and may potentially progress into wet AMD if the blood vessels in the back of your eye begin to leak.
Your first and easiest line of defense against AMD is to schedule regular comprehensive eye exams! The symptoms of macular degeneration include blurry or fuzzy central vision, visual distortions, and trouble with facial recognition. To prevent macular degeneration from progressing, it’s important to catch it early. With our advanced technology, we can spot AMD even before it presents any symptoms.
Once we’ve identified signs of macular degeneration, we can help preserve your vision with a management plan that’s tailored to your lifestyle. We’ll also set you up with sunglasses, which are shown to help fortify your eyes against the harm done by AMD. With our guidance and expert solutions, you’ll have healthy sight for the many years ahead of you!
