Age-related Macular Degeneration
Can you imagine not being able to see your friends' faces or read your favorite books? People with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are at risk for losing their central vision, blocking their ability to see details and recognize faces. But a medical eye exam can lead to early detection and new treatments can lead to a fuller live with clearer vision.
AMD is the leading cause of blindness among older Americans. AMD leads to deterioration of central vision and can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. The biggest risk factors for AMD are smoking and family history. If you have either, don't wait. Come in to learn more about this blinding disease and what you can do to prevent its worsening. Contact Doctors for Visual Freedom in Chicago at 312-291-9680 or doctorsforvisualfreedom.com to schedule an eye exam.
