There are two forms \u2013 wet and dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Macular degeneration leads to a\nloss of central vision because the retina becomes damaged. To prevent rapid\ndegradation of your vision, we must detect and treat AMD at the earliest\npossible stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common form is dry AMD. In\nfact, nearly all (90 percent) cases of AMD are the dry form of the disease,\nwhich happens when drusen deposits form around the macula and subsequently\ncloud your vision. We use high-resolution imaging to detect these drusen\nformations to get you early treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wet AMD is a much rarer form of the\ndisease. It is also a more advanced form associated with much more severe\nvision loss. Blood vessels near the retina leak and cause permanent damage to\nthe light-sensitive portion of the retina. The \u201cblind spot\u201d that is\ncharacteristic of AMD then forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Diagnosis and Treatment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our expert team\nwill perform a comprehensive eye exam and vision evaluation. First, we dilate your eyes and perform a visual acuity test.\nWe typically use these two tests to diagnose AMD and determine whether you have\nthe wet or dry form. We will then recommend treatment strategies designed to prevent further vision loss. We will work hard to\nintervene and preserve your remaining vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dry AMD<\/strong> \u2013 Currently, there is no form of\nmedical treatment for dry AMD that can prevent vision loss. Studies by the\nNational Eye Institute have indicated that taking certain vitamins and minerals\nmight reduce the risk of developing advanced AMD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wet AMD<\/strong> \u2013 This more serious, and less\ncommon, form of AMD&nbsp;can be treated with laser surgery, photodynamic\ntherapy (PDT) with or without injection of steroids into the eye, and the\npainless injection of drugs that attempt to stop abnormal blood vessel growth\nin the retina. However, the disease and loss of vision may still progress even\nwith treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Choose Eye\nConsultants of Pennsylvania?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eyeconsultantsofpa.com\/macular-degeneration-reading-pa.html\">Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania<\/a>, we have a macular degeneration center of\nexcellence.
