Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula, the part of the retina used for detailed central vision. It may make reading, recognising faces or seeing fine detail more difficult.

How we assess it

A retinal assessment helps your consultant understand whether macular changes are present and what they may mean for you. Imaging and follow-up are selected according to the clinical question.

Your options

Some macular changes are monitored while others may need treatment or closer review. Your consultant will discuss the findings and a care plan suited to your situation.
