Precise Sight is Las Vegas’ trusted specialists for advanced AMD diagnosis, treatment, and vision preservation.
Macular degeneration is one of the most common causes of vision loss in adults over the age of 50. At Precise Sight, located in the heart of Las Vegas, we provide expert diagnosis, personalized treatment, and ongoing care for those affected by this progressive eye condition. Our experienced ophthalmologists are committed to preserving your eyesight and quality of life.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a chronic eye disease that affects the macula, the small central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. While peripheral vision remains intact, damage to the macula can make it difficult to read, recognize faces, or see fine details.
AMD develops in two main forms:
01
The more common and gradual form, caused by aging and thinning of the macular tissue. Small yellow deposits, called drusen, form under the retina and may lead to vision loss over time.
02
Less common but more severe, this occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow beneath the retina and leak fluid or blood. This form of AMD causes faster and more noticeable vision loss.
Both forms of macular degeneration can significantly impact your daily life if left untreated. That’s why early detection and regular eye exams are so important—especially if you’re over 50 or live in a region like Las Vegas, where sun exposure and other lifestyle factors may contribute to risk.
Early-stage macular degeneration may not cause any noticeable symptoms. However, you may experience:
Blurry or distorted central vision
Trouble reading or seeing fine details
Faded color perception
Dark or empty spots in the center of your vision
Straight lines appearing wavy
If you’re experiencing any of these signs, schedule an eye exam with our Las Vegas specialists right away.
Some people are more at risk of developing macular degeneration, especially those who:
Are over age 50
Have a family history of AMD
Smoke or have high blood pressure
Have poor diet or low physical activity
Spend excessive time in the sun without protection
Detecting macular degeneration early is critical for maintaining vision. At Precise Sight, our team uses state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to identify AMD at all stages, even before you experience symptoms. These include:
Dilated Eye Exams: To observe the back of the eye and detect drusen or pigment changes.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): A high-resolution scan that shows cross-sections of the retina.
Amsler Grid Test: A simple test to detect wavy or missing lines in your central vision.
Fluorescein Angiography: Uses dye to highlight blood vessels and detect abnormal growth.
We provide a full, personalized assessment so you can understand the type and stage of AMD you may have.
While there is no cure for macular degeneration, early intervention and targeted treatments can help slow its progression and preserve your remaining vision.
Anti-VEGF Injections: Used for wet AMD to stop abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage.
AREDS II Supplements: A specific blend of vitamins and minerals that may slow progression in dry AMD.
Laser Therapy: Targets abnormal blood vessels to reduce leakage in certain cases.
Low Vision Aids: Magnifiers, special lenses, and assistive devices to enhance daily visual function.
Monitoring Tools: Including at-home Amsler grids to track visual changes.
