Macular Degeneration - Education

Macular degeneration is a common eye disorder among people over the age of 50. I often causes blurred or reduced central vision due to the breaking down of the inner layers of the macula. No one knows exactly what causes macular degeneration, but it is clear that the condition often develops as the eye gets older. Up North Eye Care has the technology and expertise to diagnose and treat this eye disorder at their eye clinic located between Staples and Baxter Minnesota.  If surgery is needed, Up North Eye Care has relationships with the best eye surgeons in the area and can both give referrals for you as well as co-manage your condition. 

Mayo Clinic has published a descriptive summary of symptoms, treatments, and when to see a doctor. You can read more detailed description and treatments by clicking HERE.
