Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the most common causes of loss of central vision in later life. It is characterized by deposits of waste products beneath the retina, in the area of the macula, the so-called yellow spot.

Macular degeneration frequently occurs from around the age of 60.

What are the symptoms of macular degeneration?
If you notice reduced vision, particularly when reading, see distorted images, or perceive a dark spot in your field of vision, it is advisable to make an appointment at my practice in Brunico.

With an OCT examination of the macula, all layers of the retina can be visualized with great precision. This also makes it possible to identify early changes and the first deposits in the retina.
