Does Age-Related Macular Degeneration Impact You?
Types of Macular Degeneration
There are two main forms of macular degeneration: wet and dry. Both can cause serious vision issues, but they differ in a few different ways. Dry AMD, the most common type, develops over several years as the macula begins to break down. Wet macular degeneration always starts as dry AMD, and occurs when blood vessels leak onto the retina, fast-tracking the damage to your vision.

Macular Degeneration Management Options
At Washington Eye Doctors, we use customized management plans to keep your eyesight in great condition while we monitor your eye health. As part of our diagnosis and ongoing AMD care, we use advanced tech, like Optos retinal imaging, iWellness optical coherence tomography, and iCare COMPASS for visual field and retinal measuring. These tools allow us to get a detailed look at your inner eye, specifically your retina, and take high resolution photos of your macula to compare between visits.
We’ll also help you with lifestyle adjustments, like providing the right sunglasses for your prescription and starting you on nutraceuticals from PRN, both of which have been shown to protect your eyes from further harm.
