Macular Degeneration

Understanding Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the central part of the retina, impacting your ability to read, drive, or recognize faces. It’s a leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50, progressing slowly or rapidly.


At American EyeCare Center, we offer thorough screening and treatment plans tailored to your specific type of AMD. With early detection, lifestyle recommendations, and advanced therapies, we aim to preserve your central vision and daily functionality.

Post-Surgery Care and Monitoring

After your surgery, your eye care provider will continue to monitor your progress through follow-up visits. These visits are essential to ensure your eyes are healing properly and that your vision is improving as expected. You will be guided through the healing process and given specific instructions to optimize recovery and minimize complications.
