Macular Degeneration Testing in Oakville

A disease that can be detected before it causes vision loss:

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease that affects your central vision and is one of the leading causes of blindness. This makes it very difficult to focus and read, or to see in dim lighting. Your eye doctor provides macular degeneration testing in Oakville to catch the disease early and prevent vision loss. Going forward, your eye doctor will monitor for change and recommend treatments if needed.

Why Should I Get Tested for Macular Degeneration?

Many patients do not have visual symptoms until the advanced stages of the disease. By screening for macular degeneration, treatments, such as eye vitamins, can be started early to slow down progression and minimize damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Macular degeneration does not present with symptoms in early stages. Anyone with risk factors should be tested regularly. The disease can start at any time, so a normal eye exam one year can change in the following year. 

UV-protected sunglasses and a healthy diet rich in antioxidants (e.g. green leafy vegetables) can help reduce your risk. You may also benefit from eye vitamins and other treatments depending on what your doctor finds.

Depending on the type and severity, your doctor may recommend specific eye vitamins, or refer you to an ophthalmologist for intraocular injections.

Macular degeneration tends to affect patients later in life, but it is possible to have signs even in young adulthood!
