Although there’s no treatment for dry macular degeneration, you may be able to keep it at bay with vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc, and copper. Talk to your optometrist at Dr. Dean S. Steinberger, O.D. & Associates before taking supplements.
For wet macular degeneration, medications can curtail the growth of abnormal blood vessels on your retina and prevent leaks that harm your vision. Laser light surgery may also reduce the number of blood vessels and stop leaks.
If you’ve noticed your vision is blurry, call the Westlake Village, California, office of Dr. Dean S. Steinberger, O.D. & Associates, or request an appointment online today.
