Expert macular degeneration testing in Sydney
Looking for a specialised macular degeneration eye test in Sydney? Our eye care practice offers advanced AMD screening using the latest diagnostic technology.
Our experienced optometrists provide thorough macular degeneration assessments to detect early signs of this sight – threatening condition.
What is macular degeneration?
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the central portion of your retina, impacting sharp vision needed for reading, driving, and recognising faces.
Common among Sydney residents over 50, AMD can be influenced by genetics, smoking, and diet. While most patients won’t experience complete blindness, early detection through professional eye testing is crucial for preserving vision.
Sydney’s most advanced macular degeneration eye testing services
Our Sydney practice specialises in comprehensive macular degeneration screening using cutting-edge diagnostic equipment:
Retinal imaging
Our CBD clinic utilises high-resolution digital imaging to capture detailed photographs of your macula. Our experienced optometrists analyse these images for early AMD indicators such as drusen deposits or pigment changes.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) testing
This non-invasive imaging technology, available at our Sydney practice, provides microscopic cross-sectional views of your retina. Our optometrists use OCT to examine retinal layers and detect early AMD signs before they affect your vision.
Comprehensive AMD assessment
Our thorough eye testing may include additional assessments such as the Amsler grid test to check for central vision distortions and visual acuity tests to evaluate how AMD might be affecting your functional vision.
