About
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is an incurable
eye condition that affects central
vision, making everyday tasks
difficult and in some cases,
impossible. Macular degeneration
occurs when the macula, a small
area in the center of the retina,
begins to deteriorate.
This can happen gradually or
quickly, and although Macular
degeneration does not typically lead
to complete blindness, it can
significantly reduce quality of life.
There are two main types of Macular
degeneration: dry and wet. Dry
Macular degeneration is the most
common type and occurs when the
macula slowly deteriorates over
time.
Wet Macular degeneration is less
common but more serious, occurring
when abnormal blood vessels begin
to grow under the retina. These
blood vessels can leak fluids or
bleed, causing further damage to the
macula.
There is no cure for Macular
degeneration, but there are
treatments available that can help to
slow the progression of the disease.
Early diagnosis is crucial, as Macular
degeneration often has no symptoms
in its early stages. Regular eye
exams are the best way to catch
Macular degeneration early on.
AussieSpecs is committed to helping
people prevent Macular
degeneration through regular eye
exams and education about risk
factors. We also offer speciality
contact lenses and low vision aids to
help people cope with Macular
degeneration.
If you or someone you know has

degeneration, we can help. Please
