Macular Degeneration Test (Self-Assessment) and Treatment Reviews

Macular degeneration is a disease characterized by degeneration in the macula that causes visual impairment.

The accumulation of debris in the macula leads to the formation of new blood vessels, resulting in the macula being damaged.

It is a disease that can lead to blindness.

 

I suddenly experienced eye pain and visited Nune Eye Clinic to undergo a retinal examination related to macular degeneration.

Undergoing not only tests related to eye pain but also a comprehensive detailed examination of the entire eye.

I received my eye dilating drops and had a macular degeneration retinal exam as well.

 

There is no correlation between retinal abnormalities and pain.

Since eye pain was the issue, Nune Eye Clinic, where I visited, did not recommend a retinal examination.

I requested a detailed examination to determine if I have macular degeneration through a retinal test.

 

I do not have macular degeneration, but there are residues on my right retina.

I was diagnosed with the need for regular health check-ups.

There are no other abnormalities, but in some cases, debris in the retina can lead to progression to macular degeneration.

There are cases where people live without any further progress in that state.

 

 

I was advised to take lutein supplements just in case.

Taking lutein is said to help prevent macular degeneration.

It is common to visit the ophthalmology clinic without undergoing a retinal examination, but I recommend taking the time to have regular check-ups.

There were many patients waiting for macular degeneration treatment while I was waiting for a retinal examination.

Most of the people are elderly, but there are also some young people.

 

After visiting the ophthalmologist, I take lutein supplements daily and check the age-related macular degeneration self-assessment chart provided by the hospital every day.

Based on the age-related macular degeneration self-assessment chart, do you notice that the lines do not appear straight or that the squares do not all seem to be the same size?

We check daily whether any of the four corners are missing, appear dented, or look deformed.
