Early AMD Detection is the Key to Saving Eyesight
Using advanced technology, and knowing where to look, helps fight the progression of AMD before vision loss starts.
Your eye’s macula works hard. This small structure at the back of your eye plays a role in everything from clear central vision to making out details and colors.
The macula is also delicate — and many natural aging processes can damage it. This is called age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people over age 50.
The good news is, we’ll help you stay a step ahead of AMD: our annual eye exams can catch its earliest signs, so we can start managing it well before any vision loss occurs. Everyone experiences some changes in their eyesight with age, but macular degeneration can be kept under control, and we’re here to keep your eyes covered with early detection and personalized treatment plans!

The Best Way to Manage AMD? Catch It Early!
There are a number of ways for us to maintain your inner eye health and protect your macula: with personalized management plans, specialized supplements, and more. But the number one, most important thing we can do is look for early signs, or even risk factors, of AMD.
You’d never notice many of these on your own — high levels of fatty deposits called drusen near the macula, subtle shifts in how your eye reacts to changes in light — but our eye doctors and diagnostic technology can make sure you’re getting AMD care as soon as you need it.
Don’t wait until it’s too late: schedule your next AMD screening today!
