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:
- Dry Macular Degeneration: Characterized by the gradual thinning of the macula, it progresses slowly and often leads to mild to moderate vision loss.
- 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:
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.
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.
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.
Low Vision Aids
