Macular Degeneration Treatment Denver

Denver trusts Hines Sight, home to board-certified ophthalmologists, for coordinated macular degeneration treatment that preserves vision.

Macular degeneration is a progressive condition — working with the right eye care team at the right time can make all the difference. Take the first step by booking a diagnostic screening.

Early Intervention Matters for Macular Degeneration When Is It Time to Call an Ophthalmologist?

Though there is currently no cure for macular degeneration (also called age-related macular degeneration), there are treatments that can help you maintain clear vision longer if the condition is diagnosed in time. The problem is, many people don’t know the signs of macular degeneration.

It’s time to call Dr. Justin P. Coco of Hines Sight for a macular degeneration screening if you’re noticing vision changes like these:

  • A blind spot has developed in the center of your visual field
  • You need more and more light to do up-close work
  • It’s harder for you to see what street signs say
  • Pavement markings look wavy or distorted when you’re driving
  • You're having trouble recognizing other people’s faces
  • Colors are starting to look a bit duller than they used to

What Vision Looks Like With Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is marked by a change to central vision. For most people, it looks something like this — a black or gray blind spot with soft edges that gradually overtakes the visual field from the center.

Is Often Symptomless

 
 

In its earliest stages, you may not notice any signs of macular degeneration, including those listed above. But Dr. Coco can detect the condition in its earliest stages as part of your yearly comprehensive eye exam. Even a standard eye dilation test can reveal macular changes that indicate it’s time to take action. If you’re over 50 and it’s been a while since you’ve seen an eye doctor, you can reach out to Hines Sight for an exam right now.

Eye doctors show patients the Amsler Grid test to check for retinal diseases like macular degeneration. Try it yourself by following these steps:

  1. Hold your screen at a comfortable viewing distance.
  2. Cover one of your eyes. Use the other to focus on the dot in the center for 10 seconds.
  3. Repeat the process with your other eye.
