Macular Degeneration


Macular Degeneration and Eye Disease Management

As a top clinic in the Glens Falls, Saratoga Springs, NY, areas, Bay Optical is committed to providing quality optometry services to all of our patients. Macular degeneration is one of the most common eye conditions we diagnose and help manage. We'll explain what it is, how it's diagnosed, and how our eye disease management services will help you deal with symptoms. 


Macular Degeneration


What Is Macular Degeneration?

Macular degeneration is an eye condition that affects millions of people around the globe. The deterioration of the macula causes it. The macula, or the central part of the retina, is responsible for sharp, detailed vision. The disease causes several uncomfortable symptoms, including blurred or distorted vision, difficulty seeing in low light, and blind spots in the central visual field.

Diagnosing the Disease during an Eye Exam

If you are experiencing any of the mentioned symptoms, it is crucial to schedule an eye exam with our qualified optometrist right away. During your visit, we will perform various tests to determine the health of your eyes and the extent of any vision loss you may be experiencing. These assessments may include visual acuity tests, dilated eye exams, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans.

Eye Disease Management Options

At Bay Optical, we offer a range of eye disease management services to help patients with macular degeneration manage their symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. One of the most effective ways to manage macular degeneration symptoms include prescribing accurate vision corrections and magnifying images and enhancing contrast, making it easier to see details and read smaller print.

We also offer nutritional counseling for clients with macular degeneration. Research has shown that a diet rich in certain nutrients, such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids, can help reduce the risk of developing the eye condition and slow its progression. In addition, our optometrists will provide personalized nutritional recommendations to help you maintain your eye health.
