Macular Degeneration
Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Macular Edema
Our vision, especially our central vision, is one of the most important senses we use to navigate through the world. It’s what we use to read and see details around us. Age-related macular degeneration can be a life changing condition as it affects your central vision. Depending on the form of macular degeneration that you had, vision changes can be fast or slow.
While there are a combination of factors that can contribute to macular degeneration, certain lifestyle modifications such as not smoking and eating a healthy diet can help limit your risk or progression of the disease. The treatment options for macular degeneration depend on the type, the stage, as well as findings that can be seen on examination. At San Gabriel Retina, we work with you, your primary eye doctor, as well as your primary physician to help minimize your risks, evaluate your current condition, and provide a solid educational and treatment plan.
