Macular Degeneration Q & A
Blurred or distorted central vision is often the earliest warning sign. Straight lines may look wavy, or objects may seem blurry.
Macular degeneration affects central vision but typically does not cause total blindness. Most patients retain some peripheral vision even in advanced stages.
Progression varies. Dry macular degeneration can advance slowly over the years, while wet macular degeneration may worsen more quickly if untreated.
Symptoms may include difficulty seeing fine details, trouble reading, blurry central vision, and distorted or wavy lines.
Age-related macular degeneration usually develops after age 50, with the risk increasing as you get older.
Yes. Many patients experience symptoms in both eyes, though one eye may be affected earlier or more severely.
Anti-VEGF drugs reduce abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage in the retina, helping control swelling and slow vision loss in wet macular degeneration.
We utilize high-resolution imaging, OCT scans, office-based injection therapies, and laser procedures to monitor and manage macular degeneration effectively.
