Personalized Care for AMD
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the part of your eye responsible for sharp, central vision, making everyday tasks like reading, recognizing faces, and driving more difficult.
At Advanced EyeCare Center P.C., we focus on early detection and personalized management to help preserve your vision. From thorough testing to tailored care plans, our team is here to support your eye health every step of the way.
AMD can be stressful to deal with, but you don’t have to do it alone. Contact us to schedule your AMD consultation today.
Understanding AMD
AMD is a common eye condition, particularly among adults over 50. It affects the macula, the central part of the retina, and can lead to blurry or distorted central vision. There are 2 primary types of AMD:
- Dry AMD: The more common form, progresses slowly, causing gradual loss of central vision.
- Wet AMD: Less common but more severe, caused by abnormal blood vessel growth under the retina, which can lead to rapid vision loss if untreated.
Early detection is crucial for both types, allowing for monitoring, lifestyle guidance, and timely management.
Symptoms to Watch For
AMD often develops gradually, and early signs may be subtle. Knowing what to look for can help you get timely care and protect your central vision:
- Blurred or distorted central vision
- Difficulty reading or recognizing faces
- Straight lines appearing wavy or bent
- Dark or empty areas in your central vision
If you notice any of these changes, schedule an evaluation as soon as possible.
Risk Factors for AMD
Certain lifestyle and health factors can increase your risk for AMD. Being aware of these risks allows you to take proactive steps to safeguard your vision:
- Age over 50
- Family history of AMD
- Smoking or previous tobacco use
- High blood pressure or cardiovascular disease
- Obesity or poor diet
Understanding these factors can help you take proactive steps to protect your vision.
Our Approach to AMD Management
At Advanced EyeCare Center P.C., we combine comprehensive eye exams with diagnostic technology to detect AMD early. Our management options may include:
- Nutritional supplements: Available for purchase to help slow progression in dry AMD.
