What is Macular Degeneration?

Macular degeneration affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp and detailed vision. The condition primarily comes in two forms:

1. Dry Macular Degeneration: Characterized by the gradual thinning of the macula, it progresses slowly and often leads to mild to moderate vision loss.
2. Wet Macular Degeneration: Caused by abnormal blood vessels leaking fluid or blood under the macula, it progresses rapidly and can cause severe vision loss if untreated.

Symptoms of Macular Degeneration

• Blurred or distorted central vision
• Difficulty reading or recognizing faces
• Dark or empty areas in the center of vision
• Reduced brightness or color intensity

If you notice any of these symptoms, consult our specialists for a thorough evaluation.

Advanced Treatment Options at Arka Retina & Uvea Centre

We offer a range of advanced treatments to manage macular degeneration effectively, including:

1. Intravitreal Injections

   • Anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) medications are injected into the eye to reduce abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage.
   • These injections are highly effective for treating wet macular degeneration.

2. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)

   • Combines a light-sensitive drug with a special laser to target and seal leaking blood vessels.
   • Minimally invasive and ideal for specific cases of wet macular degeneration.

3. Nutritional Therapy

   • For dry macular degeneration, we recommend specific vitamins and minerals (e.g., antioxidants and zinc) that have been shown to slow disease progression.
   • Our team provides guidance on lifestyle changes to support eye health.

4. Low Vision Aids

   • For advanced cases, we offer tools and training to maximize remaining vision and improve quality of life.
