New hope for patients with dry AMD 👁️✨

The LIGHTSITE II study shows that photobiomodulation treatment may help improve vision in eyes affected by dry age-related macular degeneration. Advances in technology are opening new possibilities for protecting and enhancing retinal health.

We are excited to announce that this very exciting technology is coming soon to our practice!

If you’ve been diagnosed with dry AMD, our team is here to help you understand your options and determine if this treatment may be right for you.

If straight lines start to look wavy…
If squares appear dark, blurry, or missing areas…
If the center line on the road looks distorted while you’re driving…

⚠️ That’s not normal.

These changes can be early warning signs of wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) — a serious condition that affects your central vision.

This is an Amsler Grid, a simple tool we use to detect subtle changes in the macula before vision loss becomes severe. Be sure to test one eye at a time and pay close attention to any distortion, waviness, or blank spots.

Early detection makes all the difference. The sooner we identify changes, the more treatment options we have to help protect and preserve your sight.

February is AMD / Low Vision Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect reminder to check in on your vision 💚

AMD is the leading cause of blindness in adults over 60, and it can progress quietly without obvious symptoms.

Regular eye exams help us detect changes early and guide treatment options when they matter most. Don’t wait for vision changes to take action.

📞 Call our office today to schedule an appointment to be screened.

Dry Eye: It Should Be Treated
By Jeffrey Minkovitz, MD, MBA
Dry eye is one of the most common eye conditions. It is not only bothersome, but it can cause significant damage if left untreated. Proper diagnosis can also lead to discovery and treatment of other related conditions in the body. Simply defined, dry eye is a condition in which one’s natural tears do not adequately lubricate the eyes to keep them comfortable and healthy. Symptoms may include stinging, burning or scratchy feeling, as well as light sensitivity, blurring and eye fatigue. Ironically, dry eye induced irritation may also cause excessive compensatory tearing.
Dry eyes may be caused by either insufficient tear production or excessive tear evaporation. Diminished tear production (aqueous deficiency) is commonly caused by aging, more common over 50, hormonal changes, especially in women, drugs such as antihistamines and certain blood pressure medications, medical conditions including rheumatoid arthritis and sjogrens syndrome, and occasionally trauma or laser vision correction (especially when done with LASIK flaps - one reason I have transitioned to laser vision correction WITHOUT FLAPS). Excessive tear evaporation may be environmental (dry heat in the winter, or air blowing directly on the eye), behavioral/structural (poor blinking due to lid abnormalities, sleeping with eyes slightly open, or failing to blink while concentrating for long periods of time reading or in computer work) or due to an imbalance in the tear composition. The normal tear film has three important layers (watery, oily and mucus). Correct balance is required to ensure adequate wetting, good tear spread, and slower evaporation from the surface of the eye.

👁️ What you’re seeing: A Visual Field (VF) Test

This image shows a visual field test, which measures how well you can see in your peripheral (side) vision. The shaded and dark areas represent areas of vision loss—in this case, consistent with glaucoma-related damage.

Glaucoma often causes peripheral vision loss first, and many patients don’t notice changes until significant damage has already occurred. Vision lost from glaucoma cannot be restored, but early detection can help slow or prevent further loss.

Visual field testing helps our doctors:
• Detect glaucoma early
• Monitor disease progression
• Adjust treatment to protect remaining vision

Our recommendation:
If you are over 40, have a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, high blood pressure, or have had eye injuries, this test is an essential part of your eye care.

We’re here to help.
Our ophthalmologists at Eye Physicians & Surgeons, P.A. use advanced diagnostic testing—like visual field exams—to detect and manage glaucoma early.

📞 Schedule a comprehensive eye exam to see if visual field testing is right for you. Protecting your vision starts with early detection. Call our office at +1 (302) 652-3353 to make an appointment.
