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?
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.
Our Advanced Technology Means Early Diagnosis in AMD

Testimonials
Patrice SzaboMarch 9, 2023Great experience from start to finish! Everyone is very friendly and cheerful. Dr. Hamilton spends as much time as you need with him, and he's very personable!
Jenny AbrahamMarch 8, 2023Friendly, efficient, and thorough. An all-around good experience!
Pat hMarch 8, 2023I highly recommend them if you need your eyes checked and prescription reviewed. Office is clean, people are nice. The appointment was on time and went well, my prescription was re-evaluated, and I think they zeroed in correcting my prescription better than anyone else ever has, that was very important, and I feel great with the current prescription given to me. They have very nice eyeglasses, types I have purchased before from other places, but I found their prices to be high for the frames I chose and had them price, so I didn't buy any eyeglasses there because of the price.
John SkvorakFebruary 24, 2023My little grandson and I were wrestling as he loves to do and my glasses got the worst of it. I thought the Oakley frames were probably beyond repair and they were not new frames. Unfortunately I was right about the frames. I was very pleased and surprised when they said they would replace the frames and even adjust the prescription slightly in the lenses. Dr Todd Hamilton at the Standish Office definitely went above and beyond to take great care of me and it is very much appreciated!
Karissa McLellanFebruary 10, 2023I have been going to see Dr. Hamilton at the Standish location for a few years and have always had a great experience! The atmosphere is always good and all of the staff treats everyone respectfully. They even took the time to explain my eyeglass prescription so I could price out glasses online and didn’t give me or my husband a hard time about not getting both of our glasses through them. Excellent service all the way around!
