Macular Degeneration in Lukfin, Texas

MACULAR DEGENERATION

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) affects many Americans, and it often develops undetected. Regular eye exams from our ophthalmologist can help detect, diagnose, and treat the condition in its earliest stages. If you are over the age of 65 we recommend that you receive annual eye exams to safeguard against this debilitating eye disease. Although there is currently no cure for this condition and the damage is irreversible, early detection and treatment can help to forestall further damage and loss of vision. Our entire staff is dedicated to providing the effective and compassionate care that can help you to protect your eyesight for many years to come!

Steps to Take to Lessen Your Chances of Developing AMD

Proactive eyecare is often the best defense against vision loss and eye disease. There are many effective habits to develop in your younger years that will help to protect your eyesight as you age. In addition to undergoing regular eye exams and medical care, the staff at Vision Source recommends the following:

  • Quit smoking
  • Maintain an active lifestyle
  • Enjoy a diet that is healthful, varied, and contains a lot of whole and fresh foods, especially fruits and vegetables
  • Always wear UV protective eyewear when spending time outdoors
  • Blue light blockers should be worn by anyone who spends a lot of time working on a computer or looking at electronic device screens
