Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Protect Your Central Vision
AMD is a common eye condition that affects people over the age of 50. It damages the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, straight-ahead vision, making it hard to read, recognize faces, or drive.
Types of AMD:
- Dry AMD: Slow vision loss over time.
- Wet AMD: Faster vision loss due to abnormal blood vessels; needs urgent treatment.
Symptoms:
- Blurred or distorted central vision.
- Straight lines appear wavy.
- Difficulty reading or seeing details.
Diagnosis & Treatment at Apex Eye Hospital, Durg:
- OCT & Fundus Imaging for early detection.
- Anti-VEGF Injections for wet AMD.
- Nutritional advice and monitoring for dry AMD.
Early detection can help preserve vision.
Get your eyes checked regularly, especially after age 50.
