Macular degeneration examination

We can detect and monitor macular degeneration and provide expert advice.

We look specifically for the clinical signs of macular degeneration. An optical coherence tomographer (OCT) and retinal photography are great tools to help diagnose and track changes to the macular.

This examination is appropriate if you have been diagnosed with macular degeneration, have been identified in the general clinic as having changes to the macular, or have a strong family history of macular degeneration.
