February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Awareness Month.
AMD is one of the leading causes of vision loss, often developing quietly with little or no warning in the early stages. The good news is that early detection really matters.
At David Fensham Optometrist, we use outstanding diagnostic technology called Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). This advanced scan allows us to see detailed cross-sectional images of the retina and detect early signs of AMD before vision is affected.
Regular eye examinations, combined with OCT imaging, can help identify subtle changes to the macula early, allowing for timely management, referral to an ophthalmologist, and better long-term outcomes.
If you are over 50, have a family history of AMD, smoke, or notice changes like blurred or distorted central vision, it is especially important to have your eyes checked.
Your vision is precious, and looking after it today can make a real difference for the future. If it has been a while since your last eye exam, we are here to help.
