Age-related Macular Degeneration Treatment

What is Macular Degeneration?

For a million ageing Australians with Macular Degeneration, daily tasks such as reading and driving become challenging. For this group of people, seeking care from an eye specialist for macular degeneration is often the first step. We are hoping to improve their quality of life with a new pioneering macular degeneration laser surgery that will help them regain their independence.

This new treatment follows the same procedure as your routine cataract surgery, but uses a new Intra-Ocular Lens with a built-in magnifier. This innovative approach sits alongside advanced options such as macular degeneration laser surgery, helping restore the patient’s central vision. With guidance from a macular degeneration eye specialist, patients may regain the ability to read, drive and recognise their loved ones.

Dr Andrew Rochford reports on the amazing gift of sight and the life-changing outcomes made possible by modern eye surgery for macular degeneration.
