Eyes are one of the most sensitive parts of the body. It needs proper care and maintenance. Many a times a minor itchiness can be a cause of concern and hence if left ignored can result dire circumstances. Our experts and specialists at Vista Eye always emphasize the need to consult the right ophthalmologist when any such conditions arrive to eradicate and get rid of the problem there and then.
Age related macular degeneration is one of such examples of an eye condition which needs to be addressed immediately. It is actually caused by damage to the retina, which causes loss of vision in the centre of the visual field. It is a visual impairment usually found in older adults which causes a significant loss in the visual ability. Since the loss is of central area, it profoundly affects the vision. It is for example very difficult to read without central vision as especially the macula is responsible for reading, driving, recognizing faces and watching television. We at Vista Eye offer different treatments for the disease in forms of injections and laser therapies. Ranibizumab and Aflibercept are the drugs which have been approved for a variety of macular degeneration. There however remains a variety of treatment methods for wet AMD which includes the photodynamic therapy.
With time, improvements in science and technology have helped in better resolving these medical issues and making life more comfortable by solving them. Amsler grid test is one of the advised tests for assessing the health of the maculae. We at Vista Eye advise timely visits of the patients who feel slightly concerned even while reading or any other way feels discomfort in the macular region. As it is always better to prevent and detect the condition in the early stages and rid them in the timely earliest possible manner.
