What is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)?
AMD is the leading cause of vision loss in people over 50. It affects the macula - the small central area of the retina that allows you to see fine details clearly. While AMD rarely causes complete blindness, it can severely impact central vision needed for reading, driving, and recognizing faces.
There are two types: Dry AMD (more common, slower progression) and Wet AMD (less common but more aggressive, treatable with injections). Early detection through regular eye exams is crucial, especially for Gurugram's growing senior population.
🏙️ Context in Gurugram
With Gurugram's growing senior population, AMD cases are increasing. The city's multispecialty hospitals offer advanced retinal imaging (OCT, angiography) for early detection and comprehensive wet AMD management with latest anti-VEGF agents.
