Get Ahead of Your Vision Loss with Maine Optometry

Your central vision plays an important role in helping you enjoy some of the most important things in life, like recognizing the faces of your friends and family. Even though you can see in your peripheral (side vision) in late-stage AMD, that’s why patients are still legally blind after losing their central vision. Our experienced AMD eye doctors use cutting-edge technology to identify AMD at its earliest stages, so they can take immediate action to manage your macular degeneration and prevent further damage.

What Is AMD?

If you’re experiencing a blur when viewing objects that are straight ahead of you, you may have macular degeneration. The macula, located at the center of your retina, is responsible for processing your central vision, which plays a significant role in your ability to do many daily activities like driving and reading. AMD causes the cells in your macula to deteriorate, resulting in inaccurate perceptions of images and, in worst-case scenarios, complete central vision blindness.

Symptoms

In the initial stages of AMD, there aren’t many symptoms. During the intermediate stage, mild symptoms may start to appear, such as blurriness. As your AMD progresses into the late stage, you may start to experience blank spots, difficulty seeing in low lighting, dull colors, and straight lines appearing as warped or wavy.

Risk Factors

Patients aged 55 and older have the highest risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, but other risks factors include smoking, blue light from screens, and a family history of AMD. Since symptoms are non-existent in the early stages, regular eye exams with our skilled doctors are key to preventing significant vision loss.

Right now, there aren’t any late-stage AMD treatments available. Getting regular eye exams is the only way to detect macular degeneration in its early stages and protect your eyes from vision loss. Our state-of-the-art diagnostics, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), allow us to identify AMD before you notice symptoms and enable us to get ahead of the condition before it causes significant damage.
