Macular Degeneration

Protect Your Central Vision from Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in adults over 55. Early diagnosis and ongoing care can slow it down and help preserve the central vision you rely on.

Understanding Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration affects the macula — the small central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision used for reading, driving, and recognizing faces. As it deteriorates, a blurry or blank spot can form in the center of your vision while side vision stays intact.

There are two forms: 'dry' AMD, which progresses slowly, and 'wet' AMD, which can cause rapid vision loss and needs prompt treatment. Knowing which type you have — and catching changes early — makes all the difference.

How We Help

We use advanced imaging to diagnose AMD precisely and monitor it over time. For dry AMD, we focus on nutrition, lifestyle, and close monitoring to slow progression. For wet AMD, we offer proven in-office treatments to control the abnormal blood vessels and protect your vision.

Every patient gets a customized plan and clear guidance — because managing AMD is an ongoing partnership, not a one-time visit.

AMD can't always be reversed, but its progression can often be slowed dramatically when caught early. Regular exams are the key to staying ahead of it.

New patients are welcome at all three of our Tampa Bay locations. Request an appointment online and our front desk will reach out to confirm.
