Macular Degeneration Treatment at Arka Retina & Uvea Centre

Expert Care for Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

At Arka Retina & Uvea Centre, we specialize in advanced treatments for Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), particularly the wet form, which can cause rapid vision loss if untreated. With state-of-the-art technology and personalized care, we aim to protect and restore vision for our patients.

What is Macular Degeneration?

Macular Degeneration is a chronic eye condition that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. The wet form of AMD occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina and leak fluid or blood, leading to rapid and severe vision impairment.

Symptoms of Wet AMD:

• Blurred or distorted central vision
• Dark or blind spots in the central field of view
• Difficulty recognizing faces or reading

Early detection is critical to managing this condition effectively.

Advanced Diagnostics for Wet AMD

At Arka Retina & Uvea Centre, we use the latest diagnostic tools to ensure accurate detection and monitoring of wet AMD:

• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): High-resolution imaging to visualize fluid accumulation in the retina.
• Fluorescein Angiography (FFA): Detects leaking blood vessels.
• Indocyanine Green Angiography (ICG): Identifies abnormal blood vessels in deeper retinal layers.

Cutting-Edge Treatments for Wet AMD

We offer a range of advanced, evidence-based treatments to manage and slow the progression of wet AMD:

1. Anti-VEGF Injections

• Regular injections of Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) medications, such as:
  • Ranibizumab (Lucentis)
  • Aflibercept (Eylea)
  • Bevacizumab (Avastin)
• These injections reduce abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage, stabilizing or improving vision in most patients.

2. Laser Therapy

• Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): A light-activated treatment using a photosensitizing drug to target abnormal blood vessels without damaging surrounding tissues.

3. Surgical Interventions

In rare and complex cases, surgery may be required to manage complications or remove scar tissue affecting vision.
