If you’ve noticed a change in your central vision or straining to see is causing neck or shoulder pain, it could be AMD. White Plains Eye Care (914 732-1732) uses the most cutting-edge technology available to check for macular degeneration in its earliest stages.
Did you know that many people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) have no symptoms until the disease is well-progressed? Early checks are key for protecting your vision.
White Plains Eye Care has the technology and specialization to detect AMD before it starts deteriorating your visual field, so you can take preventative action right away.

✦ A Bit About AMD ✦
Over 2 million Americans aged 50 and older have been diagnosed with AMD. Neck and shoulder pain can be the result of eye strain, which can point to the condition. Other symptoms include blurred vision, reduced or darkened central vision, visual distortions, and light sensitivity.
While neither form of AMD, dry or wet, is completely curable, detecting the disease early is crucial for preventing severe vision loss. In the past few years, effective treatments, such as anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections, have been developed which can stop the progression of AMD, maintaining a patient's current vision. Some patients have even experienced improved vision after receiving anti-VEGF injections.
✦ What White Plains Eye Care Can Do ✦
White Plains Eye Care can provide comprehensive scans of your macula, retina, and optic nerve. The practice uses two cutting-edge pieces of technology to diagnose macular degeneration: the Visionix iScan 80 and the AdaptDx - Model Pro with Eye Tracking Technology.
Dark adaptation is the eye's ability to recover its sensitivity in the dark after being exposed to bright light, and slowed or impaired dark adaptation is a clinical sign of macular degeneration. Using the AdaptDx - Model Pro, which has advanced, precision eye tracking technology, White Plains Eye Care can accurately measure your dark adaptation ability and create a clear understanding of your macular health.
If AMD is detected, the specialized optometrists at White Plains Eye Care can discuss treatment options with you to ensure you maintain the best vision possible, for years to come.
