Understanding the symptoms of DMLA

Understanding

Age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, is a disease of the macula, the central area of the retina that allows us to see details and read. It gradually impairs central vision while preserving peripheral vision. It mainly affects people over 50 years of age.

The symptoms

  • Progressive decline in central vision
  • Deformation of straight lines
  • Blurred area or spot in the center of the field of view
  • Increased need for light to read

The support

There are two forms of AMD: a dry form of slow progression and a wet form that can progress more rapidly. The wet form is treated primarily with intravitreal injections, which help stabilize vision. Regular screening and follow-up are essential to preserve vision.

The course of events

Treatment begins with a comprehensive examination of the retina, often complemented by OCT imaging. Depending on the form and stage, appropriate treatment and a follow-up schedule are offered to you.

A doubt, a symptom?

Make an appointment for an assessment or follow-up that suits your situation.
