What You Should Know About Specialized Eye Exams

7/1/2019

​Eye exams are a vital way to maintain good vision and overall health. A vision test is not the same thing as a comprehensive eye exam. A comprehensive eye exam is needed to monitor the overall health of your eyes and detect any problems. Certain eye diseases, such as glaucoma, do not usually cause symptoms early. But the disease can be diagnosed through certain tests.

AMD Treatment: National AMD & Low Vision Awareness Month 

2/16/2016

As the cause of vision loss for millions of Americans each year, it is important to understand management of and treatment options for AMD, or Age-Related Macular Degeneration, this National AMD & Low Vision Awareness Month. 

Before we dive into management and treatment, it’s important to note that there are two forms of AMD: Dry AMD and Wet AMD. The two types of AMD are treated differently, so your eye doctor must perform the necessary tests to determine which form of AMD you have. (To learn more about those tests, visit our previous post in our National AMD & Low Vision Awareness Month series.)

AMD Diagnosis: National AMD & Low Vision Awareness Month

In our first blog post dedicated to National AMD & Low Vision Awareness Month, we discussed AMD, including risk factors and symptoms. As the leading cause of vision loss for Americans age 50 and older, it is also important to understand how AMD, or Age-Related Macular Degeneration, is detected and diagnosed. 

To detect and diagnosis AMD, an eye doctor must assess your vision, as well as the health of your eye and retina, specifically a part of the retina affected by AMD called the macula. Doing so will help your eye doctor understand your condition, your treatment options, and ways to optimize your vision.

AMD Risks & Symptoms: National AMD & Low Vision Awareness Month

2/2/2016

0 Comments

 
February is National AMD & Low Vision Awareness Month. AMD, or Age-Related Macular Degeneration, is the leading cause of vision loss for Americans age 50 and older and is a common cause of a condition called low vision. 

AMD is a condition or disease of the part of the eye called the macula, which is the central part of the retina (the light-sensitive area in the back of the eye). The macula is responsible for our fine, detailed vision. AMD affects our central vision and makes daily activities such as driving and reading difficult.
