February is Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) Awareness Month. ARMD is a medical condition which usually affects older adults. It begins with characteristic yellow deposits in the macula (central area of the retina) called drusen. This drusen can progress to retinal damage resulting in the loss of vision in th...e center of the visual field. Macular degeneration can make it difficult to read or recognize faces, although enough peripheral vision remains to allow other activities of daily life. To schedule your comprehensive eye examination (includes a full retinal evaluation), please call our office at 704-822-9920.
