Macular degeneration is a condition that affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision. It is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. Understanding the risk factors and taking steps to manage the condition may assist in preserving vision.
Age is a significant risk factor for macular degeneration, with the risk increasing after the age of 50. Other factors that may contribute to the development of the condition include genetics, smoking, and lifestyle choices. A comprehensive eye examination may assist in detecting the condition early, allowing for timely intervention.
At 20/20 Vision Centre, our qualified ophthalmologist provides comprehensive eye care services, including diagnosis and management of macular degeneration. With an on-site surgical facility at Netcare Mulbarton Hospital, we offer a range of treatment options.
