Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye condition that affects millions of Americans every year. It is a leading cause of vision loss in people over the age of 60, and if left untreated can lead to severe vision impairment or even blindness. At The Eye Center, we understand the importance of managing AMD and providing our patients with the best possible care.
AMD occurs when the macula, a small area at the back of the eye responsible for central vision, begins to deteriorate. This deterioration can be caused by several factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices and environmental factors such as smoking or exposure to ultraviolet light. As AMD progresses, it can cause blurred or distorted central vision as well as blind spots in your field of vision.
At The Eye Center, we specialize in diagnosing and treating AMD. Our highly trained staff will perform a comprehensive eye exam that includes an assessment of your visual acuity and an examination of your retina for any signs of AMD. If we detect any signs or symptoms that may indicate AMD, we may recommend additional tests such as OCT scans or angiography to confirm our diagnosis.
