February is Macular Degeneration Awareness Month!

Did you know that Macular Degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in Americans over the age of 60?

So what is Macular Degeneration (AMD)? It is an eye disease that specifically affects the macula. The macula is responsible for our central (straight-on) vision that pertains to our ability to read, drive, and recognize faces. It is the leading cause of vision loss in Americans over the age of 55.

There are two forms of AMD: Dry and Wet

Dry AMD is the gradual deterioration of the macula due to protein deposits called drusen in the macula, thus impairing the vision.

Wet AMD is when new, abnormal blood vessels grow beneath the retina, leaking fluid and blood that damage the macula. This causes severe vision loss, and if gone untreated, then blindness.

Symptoms of AMD include, but are not limited to:
Blurry vision
Straight lines or straight objects looking wavy
Needing more light to see
Decreased color intensity

Risk Factors Include:
Poor diet, high in saturated fats
Smoking
Overweight
Family history of AMD
Hypertension
Over the age of 50

Though there is no cure for AMD, it is very treatable and early detection is key.

Don't let AMD get the best of your vision. Call us at 810-985-9600 to schedule your eye exam today.

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month!

Did you know that Glaucoma is the silent thief of sight? Why you ask, because it can often go undetected before symptoms become present, therefore, leading to permanent damage or vision loss.

What is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye from fluid buildup, leading to gradual vision loss, typically starting with peripheral (side) vision, and potentially blindness if untreated.

The best form of early detection and treatment is by scheduling your routine eye exams.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is an eye condition that damages the optic nerve. This damage can lead to vision loss or blindness. The optic nerve sends visual information from your eye to the brain and is vital for good vision. (Mayo Clinic)

Our office not only treats various forms of glaucoma through topical medications and laser treatments, but also through surgical approaches.

Call (810) 985-9600 to schedule an appointment today to discuss your glaucoma options.
