Protect Your Central Vision with Early AMD Detection
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can gradually affect your central vision, making everyday tasks like reading, recognizing faces, or driving more challenging.
At Eye Care Studio, we combine diagnostic technology such as OCT imaging and fundus photography with personalized care to catch AMD early and monitor your eye health closely.
Our team will guide you through a tailored management plan to help preserve your sight and maintain your independence. Ready to get started? Contact us to schedule your next appointment today.
Why Early Detection Matters
AMD often develops gradually, and early stages may not cause obvious vision changes. Detecting AMD early gives you more options to slow progression and protect your central vision.
Regular eye exams are especially important if you are over 50, have a family history of AMD, or have other risk factors. Early care allows for timely monitoring, lifestyle guidance, and coordination with specialists when needed.
Understanding Age-Related Macular Degeneration
The macula is the central part of your retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. AMD affects this area, making it harder to see clearly for daily activities. There are 2 main forms of AMD:
- Dry AMD: The most common type, caused by the gradual thinning of the macula and the buildup of tiny deposits called drusen. Vision changes can be subtle at first but may worsen over time.
- Wet AMD: Less common but more serious, wet AMD occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina and leak fluid or blood, leading to rapid central vision changes if untreated.
Early detection is key to slowing progression and preserving your visual independence.
Our Diagnostic Technology
At Eye Care Studio, we use a range of tools to assess your macula and monitor AMD progression:
- OCT Imaging: Provides detailed cross-sectional views of the retina to detect early changes.
- Fundus Photography: Captures high-resolution images of the retina for comparison over time.
- Visual Field Testing: Monitors central and peripheral vision to catch subtle changes.
This technology allows us to provide personalized recommendations and catch AMD in its earliest stages.
Personalized AMD Management
If signs of AMD are detected, our team works with you to create a care plan tailored to your needs. Management may include:
- Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments
- Lifestyle guidance to support eye health, including nutrition and sunlight protection
- Coordination with ophthalmologists or specialists if advanced treatment is needed
Our goal is to help you maintain clear, comfortable vision and safeguard your independence for years to come. Don’t let AMD slow you down unchecked; contact us to schedule your appointment today.
