One of the many surgeries offered by Alpine Eye Care is for those suffering from macular degeneration. AR or age-related macular degeneration is a common medical condition which causes vision loss in people over the age of 50. Affecting the center part of the retina known as the macula, it causes central vision loss making tasks such as driving or reading, incredibly difficult. Anyone may find themselves with a diagnosis of macular degeneration however. There are certain risk factors which may increase the odds that you may develop the disease including smoking and family history of the disease. Macular degeneration is also seen more often in Caucasians than in African Americans and Hispanics.

There is no way to determine whether you will develop AR macular degeneration however, by living a healthy lifestyle and getting regular vision check-ups, you may reduce your risk or at least ensure that you will catch it early.
