Age-related macular degeneration

On 25 April 2011 by Seamus Breslin

Question

Can you test for macular degeneration at your shops or is this done at the local hospital?

Answer Video and written answer:

Macular Degeneration is routinely looked for in all Optometrist's eye exams. If the Optometrist believes that you are at risk they will refer you to an Ophthalmologist (Doctor specialist in eyes) for assessment.
