Living with AMD can feel isolating, but you don't have to navigate it alone. 🤝

Vision loss often impacts daily tasks like driving or reading, which can lead to social withdrawal—but support is available.

Whether you are newly diagnosed or managing advanced AMD, connecting with others makes a difference:

• Join a Group: Organisations like the Macular Society provide local support groups: www.macularsociety.org/support/support-group/local-groups/
• Ask for Help: Don't be afraid to use Low-Vision aids which is something we provide; contact us to find out more:

Low Vision Service Wales is a scheme to enable Optometrists to determine a person's residual vision and then to improve this with various Optical and non-Optical devices.

These devices are provided at no cost to the patient and can make a huge difference to the quality of life of our senior patients. We will also provide information about additional services available within the local area to support you.

We can now Certify people as sight impaired, allowing access to the extensive range of help and benefits which this provides.

We provide a Service for urgent Eye Problems, funded by the NHS!

This is for patients who have eye problems of an acute nature. It can also be used to accept referrals from another healthcare provider. It enables patients to be seen in their community, and reduces the strain placed on the Hospital eye services.

Furthermore, following significant advanced training, we are now able to offer appointments under the WGOS 5 system, which allows a wide range of medication to be prescribed for the eye.

Following legislative changes in 2023, Wales General Ophthalmic Services (WGOS) replaced General Ophthalmic Services (Wales) (GOS[W]), Eye Health Examination Wales (EHEW), Low Vision Services Wales (LVSW), and many various local enhanced service pathways.

Protecting your vision starts with your daily habits! 🥗🏃‍♂️

While you can’t change your age or family history, you can lower your risk of progressing to advanced AMD.

Here is how to keep your eyes healthy in 2025:

1. Eat Your Greens: Leafy greens (kale, spinach), eggs, and orange/yellow veggies contain pigments that protect the macula.
2. Quit Smoking: Regular smokers are twice as likely to develop AMD.
3. Shield Your Eyes: Wear UV-protective sunglasses whenever you’re outdoors.
4. Know Your Numbers: Managing blood pressure and cholesterol levels helps maintain healthy blood flow to your eyes.

Small changes today can save your sight tomorrow. Share this with someone you love! ❤️

Did you know that there are two types of macular degeneration:

1. The Dry Type - This is the most common form. In this type of macula degeneration, the delicate tissues of the macula become thinned and slowly lose function.

2. The Wet Type - This is less common, but is typically more damaging. The wet type of macula degeneration is caused by the growth of abnormal blood vessels behind the macula. The abnormal blood vessels tend to haemorrhage or leak, resulting in the formation of scar tissue. In some instances, the dry stage of macula degeneration can turn into the wet stage.

Did you know that Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss for adults over 50?

In the UK alone, it affects around 700,000 people—and by age 90, 1 in 5 people will be affected. 👁️✨

Early detection is the key to protecting your sight. Watch for these 5 warning signs:
• Straight lines (like doorframes) looking wavy or distorted.
• A "fuzzy" or dark spot in the centre of your vision.
• Colours appearing less bright or faded.
• Needing much brighter light for reading or close work.
• Difficulty recognizing faces you know well.

Don’t wait for symptoms to become severe. Find out more about it on our website: https://eyecarecentre.co.uk/eye-problems

Did you know that February is ? 👁️

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss for those 50 years and older, yet many don't notice symptoms until permanent damage has occurred. This month, we're joining the global effort to protect our sight through education and early detection.

Key Facts to Know:
• What it is: AMD damages the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision.
• The Signs: Blurred central vision, difficulty recognizing faces, or seeing straight lines as wavy.
• Prevention: Regular eye exams are critical. Eating leafy greens, quitting smoking, and wearing UV-blocking sunglasses can also help lower your risk.

Don’t wait for your vision to change. Schedule a comprehensive eye exam this month with Jonathan Partridge Optometrists!

As we wrap up Glaucoma Awareness Month this January 2026, here is a summary of the key messages and actions to protect your vision.

👁️ Summary: Protect Your Sight in 2026
- The "Silent Thief": Glaucoma often has no early symptoms and can cause up to 40% vision loss before it is noticed. Early detection is the only way to prevent irreversible damage.
- Know Your Risk: Higher risk groups include individuals over age 60, those with a family history of the disease, and people of African, Hispanic, or Asian descent.
- The Power of Prevention: A comprehensive dilated eye exam is the most effective tool for spotting early signs of optic nerve damage.
- Healthy Habits: Support your long-term eye health by following the 20-20-20 rule for digital screens, wearing UV-blocking sunglasses, and maintaining a diet rich in leafy greens and omega-3s.

🚀 Take Action Today
- Schedule an Exam: If you haven't had a dilated eye exam in the last year, make it your resolution for 2026.
- Start the Conversation: Talk to your family about their eye health history.
- Spread the Word: Share this post to help others identify their risks before it's too late.

Looking ahead, the global community will unite again for World Glaucoma Week, March 8–14, 2026, under the theme "Uniting for a Glaucoma-Free World."
