February is AMD Awareness Month đď¸đĄ
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) affects the macula â the part of your retina responsible for sharp, central vision (reading, driving, recognizing faces). Many people donât notice early changes at first, which is why routine eye exams matter.
All month long, weâll be sharing:
â
early warning signs to watch for
â
whoâs most at risk
â
how we screen for AMD
â
lifestyle + nutrition tips that support retinal health
â
what treatment options look like if AMD is found
If youâre 50+, have a family history, or simply havenât had a dilated eye exam recently, this is your reminder to get checked.
