This form of AMD is more common, accounting for about 80% of cases. It is characterized by the thinning of the macula and the formation of drusen, which are tiny protein clusters. In dry AMD, the loss of central vision typically occurs slowly over time.
At amaEyes, we understand that while there is currently no cure for the advanced stages of dry AMD, proactive management is key. We focus on slowing the progression of the condition through nutritional supplements rich in vitamins C and E, Lutein, and other beneficial nutrients. Our team provides personalized advice and support, helping you incorporate these supplements into your daily routine to aid in managing your dry AMD.
For those with wet AMD, our approach includes advanced treatments like anti-VEGF medications. These are carefully injected into the eye by our skilled specialists, aiming to reduce the growth of abnormal blood vessels and control leakage. In certain cases, we may also recommend laser surgery as part of your treatment plan. Our goal is to tailor each treatment to your specific needs, ensuring the most effective care for your condition.
Early detection through frequent eye examinations can be crucial in preventing the progression of AMD.
A diet rich in leafy green vegetables and fish high in omega-3 fatty acids can be beneficial for eye health.
Wearing sunglasses that block UV rays helps protect the retina from potential UV damage.
Smoking significantly increases the risk of AMD, both dry and wet. By quitting smoking you can dramatically reduce your chance of getting AMD.
Controlling factors like hypertension and cholesterol, which can impact eye health, is an important preventive measure.
