Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease that affects central vision. Risk factors for AMD include being over 50 years in age, smoking, high blood pressure, and having a diet high in saturated fat.

Symptoms include
*Blurry vision
*Straight lines appearing wavy
*A dark, empty area in the center of vision

Although there is no cure for AMD, if you feel you are experiencing symptoms please make an appointment, as there are treatments that can slow the progression of AMD!

Did you know glaucoma often has no early symptoms? ๐Ÿ‘€
Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss.

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month, and itโ€™s the perfect reminder to stay on top of your eye health. A simple eye exam can make all the difference in catching glaucoma early and protecting your sight.

Our office uses up-to-date, advanced technology to not only detect glaucoma early, but also closely monitor for progression over time, helping us protect your vision for the long run.

If itโ€™s been a while since your last exam, weโ€™d love to see you! ๐Ÿ’š
