Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is an eye condition that affects the central part of the retina called the macula, which is responsible for sharp, detailed vision. It is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults and can make tasks like reading, driving, or recognizing faces difficult. There are two main types—dry AMD, which develops slowly, and wet AMD, which progresses more quickly and can cause sudden vision loss. At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital and Research Centre, we offer advanced diagnostic imaging and treatments such as injections, laser therapy, and lifestyle guidance to help slow the progression of the disease and preserve as much vision as possible.
