Blanca's Early Birthday Celebration Part II

February is AMD Awareness Month

AMD is age-related macular degeneration and can occur in two forms: wet and dry. Although it does not cause pain, it does affect a person's central vision. Limiting one's exposure to UV light as well as harmful blue light can greatly reduce a person's odds of developing AMD in the future.

The macula is located in the center of the retina and it is responsible for the sharp central vision one needs to complete daily tasks like reading and driving. It also determines how one perceives colors.

As one ages, the macula begins to deteriorate. Initially, the following symptoms may go unnoticed:
  • A dark or empty area in the center of vision
  • Gradual loss of ability to see objects clearly
  • Straight lines look wavy or crooked
  • Loss of clear color vision

Dry AMD has no cure and is far more common than wet AMD. It can, however, become wet AMD over time. Vision loss due to wet AMD can be minimized with laser treatment or photodynamic therapy (PDT).

Once a person begins to lose their central vision due to macular degeneration, it cannot be restored. However, not all hope is lost. There are a variety of low-vision devices available to assist those with AMD, including handheld magnifiers. Please contact our office for more information on the latest products available.
To learn more about AMD, please visit the American Optometric Association site.

World Sight Day
Thursday October 13, 2016

We participated in Optometry Giving Sight's World Sight Day Challenge 2016.  The doctors and staff members baked many delicious pastries that were provided, at no cost, to those who made a contribution to the fundraiser. Thanks to our patients and many of our neighbors here at the plaza, we collected enough funds to provide eye exams and glasses to fifty-two people! We appreciate everyone's support and we look forward to doing it all again next year.
World Sight Day (WSD) is an annual day of awareness to focus global attention on blindness and vision impairment. It is coordinated by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness under the VISION 2020 Global Initiative. It is supported by eye health organizations around the world – including Optometry Giving Sight – and is included on the official World Health Organization (WHO) calendar. This year’s WSD is on October 13th.The call to action for World Sight Day 2016 is Stronger Together.
