Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a retinal disease that occurs when the macula (the part of the retina where your central vision comes from) begins to gradually deteriorate, most often due to age. It is the leading cause of legal blindness in the United States among people over 65 years of age. The loss of central vision associated with AMD makes it more difficult to read, do up-close work, see faces, or drive. It negatively impacts quality of life.

There are two types of AMD: wet and dry.

At Elevate Eye Care, we have the knowledge and diagnostic tools to detect and diagnose both types of AMD. If your condition exceeds our ability to care for you, we have the proper referrals for you to receive the best care possible.
