Macular degeneration (AMD)

Macular degeneration (AMD) is a common age-related eye disease which affects the clarity of your central vision. The incidence of macular degeneration increases with age, and about three people per 1000 over the age of 50 will develop macular degeneration.
Macular degeneration is categorised as an “age-related” eye condition meaning that it occurs mainly in older people.

Diagnosis and treatment for Macular degeneration

Understanding Macular Degeneration
The macula is the area of the retina that’s responsible for seeing clearly in the centre of your vision.
If you are experiencing blurriness, distortion or blank spots in your central vision, our ophthalmologists can carry out comprehensive eye assessments to check the condition of your eyes and diagnose the type of macular degeneration you are experiencing.
There are two types of macular degeneration conditions:
Dry age-related macular degeneration:
  • Have a transient (or intermittent) diplopia condition
A progression of vision loss over a period of time.
  • Wet age-related macular degeneration
A sudden and rapid progression of vision loss.

Macular degeneration
treatment

Although there is no definite treatment to reverse any current symptoms of macular degeneration, our ophthalmologist can help prevent or slow the progression of the disease.
After diagnosing your condition, your specialist will begin the treatment process.
If you are diagnosed with wet macular degeneration, your specialist will repeat Anti-VEGF and/or other injections to preserve and stabilise your vision. This treatment will require regular check-ups and monitoring of your vision.
Dry macular degeneration requires frequent monitoring and check-ups of the eyes. Dry macular degeneration is a less damaging condition for your eyes and does not require injections for treatment.

The surgeon was excellent, the staff very pleasant and knowledgeable. The atmosphere in the clinic was serene and unhurried.As I said to Bola my surgeon she really is a miracle worker, making "the blind to see". I had bilateral cataract surgery, and afterwards I could see without aid which I had not been able to do for 65 years.

Brilliant Treatment resulted in Brilliant Vision After noticing that my distance vision when driving was becoming uncomfortable and driving at night was becoming more and more difficult and new prescription glasses didn’t make much difference I decided to have cataract surgery. A friend recommended I have a consultation at the I-Clinic. Their professional examination was really Impressive and I had my totally painless operation to remove the cataracts (on both eyes) completed within the next four weeks.

I was recommended to Mr Bulger by a friend and was very pleased with the entire process for removing cataracts and improving my vision remarkably. It really is a miracle. All of the staff were kind and attentive and with Mr Bulger I felt that I was in very safe hands. Follow up activity was with Ms Odufuwa who was most helpful and attentive

I cannot praise My-Iclinic enough from my initial consultation to pre op and my surgery. The staff are reassuring and extremely professional in every aspect of the process. Mrs Bola Oduwufa is a wonderful surgeon and a magician in my eyes !!!. My double cataract extraction and lens replacement has improved my eyesight 1000%.I didn’t realise how flat and dull the colours and perspective of seeing life through my eyes had become due to the cataracts.

The care taken by all the clinic staff to ensure that I was comfortable, kept informed of what was being done to my eye and made to feel relaxed during the pre op tests was of an extremely high standard The surgeon was thorough, in the initial meeting, in explaining the problems and procedure that she would use to remove my cataracts.

Fantastic results. I was so impressed by all the staff and the extensive pre and post op test and scans which has resulted in 20:20 vision. My surgeon made the double cataract operation as easy a process as possible with re-assurance at all steps. Highly, highly recommended

My-iClinic was recommended by my optometrist. Both eyes were done quickly, painlessly and by a friendly team and one of two expert eye surgeons. Mr Bolger inspires confidence. I think I've had mine done early before the cataracts developed too much, which I recommend. The clarity is wonderful. Don't wait for your vision to get worse.

I am a absolutely terrified of anybody going near my eyes, it took a lot of courage to go ahead with treatment. During treatment the nurses and everybody concerned made great efforts to give me confidence. The staff were very friendly and thorough in their approach with attention to detail at every stage. I could have had the treatment in Cyprus at a much lower cost - but finally decided that My-iClinic from reports I had read and comments made to me was the best option. All the time remember you only have one set of eyes - and I have always felt it is your most important sense

Macular Degeneration Frequently asked questions

Have a question? We are here to help.

What is wet macular degeneration (WMD)?

Wet age-related macular degeneration can cause a sudden change in vision loss and is a long-lasting eye condition. Vision loss is caused by abnormal blood vessels growing into the macula.

How do you check for macular degeneration?

Our technicians carry out comprehensive eye assessments, giving a clear view of all the layers of the retina, to allow our ophthalmologist to give you an accurate diagnosis in your private consultation. These eye assessments also allow for careful monitoring of the condition and for treatment planning. If you are concerned about your vision, please call 0208 445 8877 for more information about a consultation with our ophthalmologist.

What do Anti-VEGF injections do to help treat macular degeneration?

Anti-VEGF injections are used for patients who have been diagnosed with wet macular degeneration (WMD). Anti-VEGF injections are a frequent treatment to stabilise your vision and prevent further vision loss. Anti-VEGF is a protein which prevents the growth of new blood vessels in the eye and controls the eye fluid.

Does vision improve after anti-VEGF?

Overall, patients who use anti-VEGF injections as treatment for macular degeneration see an improvement in their vision. As wet macular degeneration is a serious eye condition that increasingly causes vision loss, treatment is always advised to prevent any risk of blindness.

What are the symptoms of macular degeneration?

You may be experiencing the following symptoms from macular degeneration:

  • Reduced and/or distorted areas in your central vision
  • Difficulty with close-up work such as reading and driving.
  • Difficulty seeing in low light environments
  • Blank or dark spots in your field of vision
  • Straight lines looking wavy or crooked
  • Reduced intensity of brightness and colours
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, please contact0208 445 8877for a private eye assessment and consultation with our ophthalmologist.

What is dry macular degeneration (AMD)?

Dry age-related macular degeneration is a common eye disease that progressively causes vision loss over a longer period of time. This is because the tissue in the macula thins and causes a reduction and “wearing out” of the retinal cells.

What causes macular degeneration (MDD)?

The onset of macular degeneration usually occurs from 50 to 60 years of age. During this period, you may start to experience early warning signs of macular degeneration. The exact cause of macular degeneration is unknown; however, lifestyle choices such as smoking, poor diet, high blood pressure and a family history of macular degeneration can put you at risk of the condition. It is always best to have routine eye checks with your local opticians and our ophthalmologist to monitor any early macular degeneration symptoms.

How successful are anti-VEGF injections for wet macular degeneration?

Anti-VEGF injections are very successful in treating wet macular degeneration (WMD). Anti-VEGF injections are frequently administered by our ophthalmologist to stabilise your vision and to preserve the central vision.

Can a young adult develop macular degeneration?

Macular degeneration is very rare in young people since it is an age-related eye disease. Usually, young adults who develop macular degeneration have the condition due to an inherited abnormality.
