Macular Degeneration Evaluations

Did you know that Macular Degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss?  Macular Degeneration affects more Americans than cataracts and glaucoma combined and is considered an incurable eye disease which causes progressive vision loss.

The risk for Macular Degeneration increases with age, and is most common with adults 55 years of age and older.  Your genetics can increase your risk, so when other family membranes have Macular Degeneration, your chances of having Macular Degeneration increase.  Your race can also increase your risk for Macular Degeneration.  Ultra Violet (UV) light exposure tends to increase progression of Macular Degeneration. Smoking can increase the risk and progression of Macular Degeneration.

At River Lake Clinic, we work with patients in all stages of Macular Degeneration.  We can help prevent progression of the disease and to preserve your vision.
