AMD Prevention and Early Intervention

Early detection can help preserve your sight -

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye condition that damages the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. Several risk factors for AMD include age, smoking, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and prolonged exposure to sunlight. There are two main forms of AMD: dry AMD, which develops slowly as the macula thins over time, and wet AMD, which involves abnormal blood vessel growth that can rapidly affect vision. Clinicians diagnose AMD through comprehensive eye examinations. Early detection can help slow disease progression and improve visual outcomes. At Dr. Paul Fisher & Associates Eyecare, we are dedicated to caring for both you and your vision.
