Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula, the central portion of the retina responsible for sharp vision needed for reading, driving, and recognizing faces. AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, but early detection and proper management can help preserve vision.
At Wiles Eye Care, we provide comprehensive evaluations, advanced retinal imaging, and ongoing monitoring for patients with macular degeneration and those at increased risk of developing the condition.
Our evaluation may include:
Comprehensive dilated eye examination
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Digital retinal imaging
Assessment of visual function
Review of risk factors and family history
Personalized AMD Management
Depending on the stage and type of macular degeneration, care may include:
Monitoring for disease progression
Nutritional counseling and supplement recommendations
Home vision monitoring strategies
Coordination of care with retinal specialists when advanced treatment is needed
Our goal is to detect changes early and help patients maintain their independence and quality of life.
