Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Evaluation

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye disease that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. AMD primarily affects adults over the age of 50 and can significantly impact reading, driving, and recognizing faces.

At De-Lens Ophthalmics, we perform comprehensive retinal examinations using advanced diagnostic technology to detect AMD early and monitor its progression.

Understanding Age-Related Macular Degeneration

The following illustrations demonstrate how AMD affects the macula and how it changes a person's central vision.

Common Symptoms of AMD

Early detection greatly improves the ability to monitor and manage Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Symptoms may include:

  • Blurred or distorted central vision.
  • Straight lines appearing wavy or bent.
  • Difficulty reading fine print.
  • Dark or blank spots in the center of vision.
  • Difficulty recognizing faces.
  • Reduced brightness or color perception.

Protecting Your Central Vision

Routine comprehensive eye examinations are essential, especially for adults over 50 years of age or those with a family history of macular degeneration.

At De-Lens Ophthalmics, we utilize advanced retinal imaging and diagnostic equipment to detect early signs of AMD, monitor disease progression, and recommend the most appropriate treatment and lifestyle modifications to preserve your vision.
