Not all macular degeneration is the same,and the difference matters.

Dry AMD progresses slowly. Wet AMD can cause rapid, irreversible vision loss often within weeks without treatment.

If you or someone you love has been told they have AMD, understanding which type and acting early is everything.

Our team at Blink Eye Clinic specialises in macular assessment and treatment. Referrals welcome from GPs and optometrists across Canberra and the ACT region.

A vitrectomy is a type of microsurgical retinal procedure used to remove the vitreous gel inside the eye, allowing access to the retina.

It may be recommended to help manage a range of conditions affecting the back of the eye, including retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane, macular hole, or persistent floaters.

While it can sound complex, the procedure is performed using highly specialised microsurgical techniques, with each step carefully controlled.

If you’ve been advised to see a retinal specialist, understanding procedures like this can help you feel more informed and prepared when discussing your care.

Eye injections can feel confronting but the reality is very different.

Eye injections are a commonly performed procedure in ophthalmology and are used to help manage conditions such as macular degeneration and diabetic macular oedema.

Before the injection, the eye is carefully prepared and numbed. The procedure itself is quick and relatively painless, and your specialist will guide you through each step to help you feel as comfortable as possible.

If this treatment has been recommended, it’s common to have questions. A clear understanding of the process can help you feel more prepared and informed.

As we age, the risk of developing conditions such as cataract, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration increases.

Many of these conditions progress slowly and may not cause noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Routine eye examinations allow changes to be detected early and monitored appropriately.

Proactive care plays a vital role in maintaining independence and quality of life.

Vision changes don’t always happen suddenly. Many serious eye conditions develop gradually, and early signs can be subtle.

If you’ve noticed blurring, distortion, glare, or changes in peripheral vision, it’s important not to ignore these symptoms. Early assessment allows timely diagnosis and appropriate management, helping to protect long-term vision.

Your eyes deserve careful attention.

Eye health changes over time, often gradually and without obvious symptoms. Regular examinations allow early changes to be detected, monitored, and managed appropriately.

The right review schedule depends on your age, medical history, and individual risk factors. If you’re unsure when your next check should be, it’s worth having that conversation.
