Macular Degeneration Treatment in Austin, TX
The macula is a round area near the center of your retina, and its job is to make central vision sharp, clear, and detailed. When the blood vessels and retinal tissue in the macula becomes damaged, it can result in macular degeneration, or the deterioration of your central vision. You may notice that your central sight is blurred or that you need more light to read or perform other tasks. As the disease progresses, this blurred spot grows darker and larger.
What is this like for the person with macular degeneration? You may see a person some distance away, but you cannot see the face until he gets much closer. The disease affects your central vision, so you will not completely lose your sight. This may not be a huge comfort to those with the disorder; what is comforting, however, is that, while damage from macular degeneration is not reversible, the condition is often manageable.
With thorough exams by our optometrists, as well as the most sophisticated technology, we can provide accurate – and early – diagnoses. If a diagnosis of macular degeneration has been made, we can help you determine management options that may work for you.
