👁️ May is Macula Month – Protect Your Sight as You Age

Macula Month is a powerful reminder of the importance of early detection and regular eye checks—especially for older adults.

🔎 What is AMD?

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye disease that affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for your central, detailed vision. It’s one of the leading causes of vision loss in Australians over 50.

Symptoms may include:

Blurred or distorted central vision
Difficulty reading or recognising faces
Visual distortions that may be mistaken for double vision in late stages

👨‍⚕️ Early detection is key. Regular eye checks can detect AMD before significant vision loss occurs. Our optometrists use advanced imaging to monitor changes in your retina and offer guidance for lifestyle changes or treatments.
