Macular Degeneration at Spex Expressions
Macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss, affecting the central part of the retina, known as the macula. At Spex Expressions, we provide expert care, using advanced diagnostic tools to detect macular degeneration early and preserve your vision. Regular eye exams are essential in managing this condition and preventing severe vision impairment.
What Is Macular Degeneration?
Macular degeneration, also called age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a progressive eye disease that damages the macula, responsible for sharp central vision. There are two types: dry and wet AMD. The dry form is more common and involves gradual thinning of the macula, while the wet form is caused by abnormal blood vessels that can leak fluid into the retina. Early detection and treatment are vital to managing both types.
Symptoms of Macular Degeneration
In the early stages, macular degeneration may not present noticeable symptoms. As it progresses, symptoms may include:
Our Macular Degeneration Tools at Spex Expressions
At Spex Expressions, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic technology to detect and monitor macular degeneration. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides detailed images of the retina, allowing us to assess the thickness and structure of the macula. Additionally, fundus photography captures images of the back of the eye, helping identify any changes in the retina over time. These tools allow us to diagnose macular degeneration at its earliest stages and tailor a treatment plan to protect your vision.
Why Early Detection Is Key for Macular Degeneration
Spex Expressions: Trust the Experts with Your Eyes
One of the challenges of macular degeneration is that it often develops without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. By the time you experience changes in your vision, significant damage may have already occurred. Regular comprehensive eye exams allow us to detect the disease before it reaches this advanced stage. Early detection means early intervention, which is critical in slowing the progression of the disease and maintaining your quality of life.
