Macular Degeneration: More Can Be Done to Help Your Vision!

Enhance Your Quality Of Life And Regain Independence

Low Vision Specialists of Maryland and Virginia believes in “Life After Vision Loss”. As part of The International Academy of Low Vision Specialists (IALVS) we bring new hope and sight to those with Macular Degeneration, Stargardt’s Disease , Retinitis Pigmentosa, and other vision limiting conditions.

While there are a variety of medical treatments available for macular degeneration, doctors are frequently overlooking the patient’s visual needs after treatment. Successful AMD treatment may not restore normal vision, but it will prevent central vision loss from worsening.

Over 80% of age related macular degeneration patients have the dry or atrophic type of the disease. The less common, the wet form of the disease is more aggressive and threatening to one’s vision.

Medications, such as Lucentis and Avastin, have become the standard practice for the treatment of wet macular degeneration. Although these injections help to prevent the growth of leaky blood vessels in your eye, often your vision will not recover. Currently there is no treatment for the more common dry form of macular degeneration, and the treatment for the wet form sometimes does not meet the patient’s visual expectations.

With Over 39 Years of Experience We Have a 98% Success Rate with Improving Our Patient’s Vision!
