Macular Degeneration Treatment in Central Arkansas

Request Appointment

Macular degeneration is the leading cause of severe vision loss in people ages 50 and older1, affecting their central vision and making daily activities like reading or recognizing faces more difficult. At Family Eye Clinic, we provide macular degeneration treatment and monitoring at all three locations in Sherwood, Levy (North Little Rock), and Landmark (Little Rock).

Because this condition often progresses slowly and has no symptoms early on, regular comprehensive eye exams are critical for early detection. Our experienced eye doctors use advanced diagnostic tools to detect even the earliest signs of macular degeneration and develop personalized treatment plans to help protect your eyesight.

Macular degeneration symptoms

Macular degeneration often starts without noticeable symptoms, which is why annual exams are critical. As the condition progresses, you may experience:

  • Blurred or distorted central vision

  • Difficulty reading or recognizing faces

  • A dark or empty spot in the center of your vision

  • Decreased brightness or intensity of colors

  • Visual distortions, such as straight lines appearing wavy

If you notice any vision changes, especially blurriness in your central vision, it’s important to schedule an eye exam as soon as possible.

Treatment for macular degeneration

While AMD has no cure, treatment can help slow its progression and prevent permanent vision loss. At Family Eye Clinic, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to monitor retinal changes and detect macular degeneration early on.

If you are diagnosed with AMD, we will create a management plan tailored to the type and stage. Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, supplements, or referrals to specialists for anti-VEGF injections. 

Don’t wait until you notice vision changes

Macular degeneration doesn’t have to mean losing your independence. With the right treatment plan and support, you can continue doing the things you love. Call us today to schedule an appointment at any of our three Central Arkansas locations.
