Macular Degeneration

Many of us know other people who have lost vision and visual function related to a condition known as macular degeneration. This eye disease can be diagnosed from during a routine eye examination by evaluating the internal eye lining called the retina. Retinal imaging can help to monitor for the progression of changes related to macular degeneration. In early stages, management of macular degeneration includes the use of ultraviolet protection, nutritional supplements as well as other general health recommendations such as cholesterol or blood pressure control and smoking cessation. Take home tools like the Amsler grid, help you to monitor for subtle changes in your vision that may occur between general eye examinations.

Within the last decade, there have been developments in the treatment of macular degeneration that have given new hope to many patients. Retinal surgeons can use medications and surgical procedures can often reduce the impact of macular degeneration in some cases.

Even though macular degeneration can result in serious vision changes of the central vision, the optometric physicians at Roosevelt Vision can help to maximize vision by correcting the eyes appropriately with glasses, and recommending consultation with low vision rehabilitation specialists if this becomes necessary. We continue to monitor your eyes for other eye conditions that may reduce vision further and try to maintain the best possible vision and quality of life for our patients.
