Let our eye specialist conduct a detailed screening for AMD. This typically involves assessing your degree of vision distortion and identification of abnormal blood vessels in the eye.
Our targeted treatments can help block the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye, reduce leakage or destroy abnormal blood vessels altogether.
As AMD is a degenerative condition that worsens with time, early detection and intervention will help slow disease progression and preserve sight for much longer.
Dr Leo Seo Wei is an ophthalmologist in Singapore who is well-versed in the treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). With over 20 years of experience treating AMD, our clinic is equipped with modern ophthalmological technology and medicines that have been proven to treat AMD effectively. With AMD being one of the leading causes of blindness in Singapore, we are committed to providing detailed assessments and personalized treatments for our patients to achieve best possible sight preservation.
While treatment can usually stabilize vision, the degree of improvement will depend on severity and type of AMD.
Intravitreal Injections: The most common form of treatment, certain medicines are injected into the eye to block the growth of abnormal blood vessels.
Photodynamic Therapy: This uses a non-thermal laser together with an intravenous drug to reduce leakage and seal abnormal blood vessels
Laser Photocoagulation: This uses a laser to destroy abnormal blood vessels
Though there is currently no known cure, when detected early, many do benefit from good lifestyle changes and nutritional supplements to slow disease progression and preserve vision.
