How Ophthalmologists Diagnose AMD: Tests You Can Expect

Suspect AMD? Your ophthalmologist can confirm it through several quick, painless tests:
🔍 Dilated Eye Exam – to look for drusen or pigment changes
📊 Amsler Grid Test – to detect distorted or missing vision
🖥️ Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – to see detailed images of your retina
💉 Fluorescein Angiography – to check for leaky blood vessels (in wet AMD)

These tests help determine the stage and type of AMD — and guide the right treatment.



A PUBLIC ADVISORY FROM THE PHILIPPINE ACADEMY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY:Beware of unproven eye medicine, eye drops, and eye devices that are being peddled as a cure-all or prevention of different eye conditions. Consult your ophthalmologist for the proper care of your eyes.

Ang kalahating tasang kanin 23 g ng carbohydrates at 100 calories. Ang isang pisngi ng mangga ay 40 calories at may laman na 10 g ng carbohydrates. Ano ang katumbas sa kanin kung kumain ng tatlong slice ng mangga?

Sa pinggang Pinoy, nasa labas ng plato ang prutas. Kaya puwede namang sabay ang kanin at prutas. Panghimagas ang prutas.
