Age-related macular degeneration often develops quietly. Many people do not notice changes until everyday tasks like reading or recognizing faces become harder 👓

AMD affects central vision and is more common in adults over 50, especially those with a family history of eye disease or other health risk factors. The earlier it is detected, the more options there are to monitor progression and protect long-term vision.

At St. Paul Eye Clinic, comprehensive eye exams are designed to catch subtle retinal changes early, even before symptoms interfere with daily life. Early awareness and routine care can make a meaningful difference.
Learn more about age-related macular degeneration, who is at risk, and why early detection matters in our latest blog:

Myth vs. Fact: Vision Loss Is Not a Normal Part of Aging

Myth: Losing your vision is just something that happens as you get older.

Fact: While changes in eyesight are common with age, significant vision loss is often linked to eye conditions that benefit from early detection and ongoing care.

Conditions like macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataracts can develop quietly over time. Without regular eye exams, these changes may go unnoticed until they begin to interfere with daily life. With proper monitoring and treatment, many people are able to maintain functional vision well into later years.

At St. Paul Eye Clinic, we focus on preventive care and education to help patients across Minneapolis and St. Paul protect their long-term eye health. Regular eye exams allow our team to identify changes early and guide patients through personalized care options.

If it has been a while since your last eye exam, now is a great time to prioritize your vision and take a proactive approach to eye health 👁️

Age-related macular degeneration is one of the most common causes of vision loss in adults over 50, yet many people are not sure what it actually is or how it affects vision 👁️

AMD impacts the macula, the central part of the retina that allows you to see fine details clearly. As it progresses, everyday activities like reading, driving, or recognizing faces can become more challenging. In many cases, changes happen gradually and without early symptoms.

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, early detection and routine eye exams are key to managing AMD and protecting long-term vision:

If you are over 50 or have a family history of macular degeneration, scheduling a comprehensive eye exam is an important step in staying proactive about your eye health 💙
