Macular Degeneration
You should always talk with your ophthalmologist to discuss your risk for macular degeneration. The disease may not manifest any symptoms in its early stages and may go unrecognized unless diagnosed early on by a professional. Some of the more common symptoms of macular degeneration can include blurred vision, dim spots in the middle of your vision, decreased ability to read fine print or drive, changed color perception, and more. Has your vision recently changed to include one or more of these symptoms?
At this current time, there is no known cure for macular degeneration. We can treat macular degeneration with medications or with laser surgery. Some injections can slow vision loss and potentially improve eyesight. Regardless of which type of macular degeneration you have, part of treatment is assisting you in coping with some amount of vision loss. Because macular degeneration is irreversible, you must visit Queen City Ophthalmology regularly to prevent vision loss. Dr. VanBrakle can work with you to determine the best treatment options and help manage your disease.
Dry Eye Specialists
If you suffer from dry eye, you are not alone. A regular part of the aging process, dry eye syndrome is most common in older people, but it does have other causes. If you suffer from dry, itchy, irritated eyes, it may be time for you to visit the dedicated dry eye specialists at Queen City Ophthalmology. Our team can determine the exact cause of your dry eye and prescribe a medication or treatment that can provide all-day comfort and healthy eyes.
