Macular Degeneration Care at Saluja Eye Care Center, Indore
Understanding Macular Degeneration
Macular Degeneration (Age-Related Macular Degeneration or AMD) is one of the leading causes of central vision loss in people over 50 years. It damages the macula—the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. While peripheral vision remains intact, patients may struggle with fine details such as reading, driving, or recognizing faces.
At Saluja Eye Care Center, Indore, we are highly proactive and aggressive in managing all forms of AMD—both dry and wet macular degeneration.
Advanced Diagnostic Facilities
Our center is fully equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic technology to detect diabetic eye disease at the earliest stages:
– Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – for high-resolution retinal imaging
– Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) – for assessing retinal blood flow
– Indirect Ophthalmoscopy & Fundus Photography – for complete retinal evaluation
Types of Macular Degeneration
- Dry AMD (Common, Slow Progression)
Occurs due to thinning of the macula and accumulation of drusen (protein deposits). Currently, no curative treatment exists, but nutritional supplements (AREDS-2 formulation), antioxidant-rich diets, and lifestyle modifications can help slow progression.
• Wet AMD (Less Common, Rapidly Progressive)
Caused by abnormal blood vessels growing under the retina, which may leak fluid or blood, leading to rapid vision loss. This condition requires urgent treatment to preserve vision.
Advanced Diagnostics at Saluja Eye Care Center
We provide a complete range of diagnostic facilities for AMD:
• OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) – High-resolution imaging of the retina.
• Fundus Examination & Ophthalmoscopy – To detect early changes.
• Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) – To visualize leaking blood vessels.
For Dry AMD
– AREDS-2 based vitamin and mineral supplements (Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Zinc, Copper).
– Dietary advice: leafy greens, fish, colorful fruits, and vegetables.
– Lifestyle counseling: smoking cessation, weight control, and blood pressure management.
For Wet AMD
– Anti-VEGF Injections – Gold standard treatment to stop abnormal vessel growth and leakage.
– Laser Therapy (select cases) – To seal leaking vessels.
– Surgical Retinal Care (for advanced cases).
💡 At Saluja Eye Care, we emphasize strict compliance with treatment schedules. Missing even a single injection or follow-up visit can result in irreversible loss of 1–2 lines of vision.
Many patients deteriorate not because of lack of treatment, but because of missed follow-ups. At our center:
• Every patient is scheduled for timely reviews.
• Our retinal specialists track disease activity closely.
• Patient education and reminders ensure continuity of care.
AMD is strongly influenced by lifestyle. We counsel patients on:
• Quit Smoking – The single biggest modifiable risk factor.
• Healthy Diet – Rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and green leafy vegetables.
• Control of Hypertension & Cholesterol.
• Sun Protection – UV-blocking sunglasses to reduce retinal stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
AMD affects the macula, typically after age 50. Risks: age, family history, smoking, and vascular disease.
Dry (atrophic) causes gradual vision loss; Wet (neovascular) causes faster loss with abnormal blood vessel growth.
By dilated exam, OCT, fundus photography, and fluorescein angiography for wet AMD.
Wet AMD: intravitreal anti-VEGF injections, sometimes lasers. Dry AMD: lifestyle and supplements for progression slowing.
AREDS2 supplements can slow progression in intermediate AMD, not for prevention. Smokers should avoid beta-carotene.
Often monthly initially, then adjusted in a treat-and-extend schedule based on OCT results.
Quit smoking, eat leafy greens and fish, exercise, and manage blood pressure and cholesterol.
AMD affects central vision but most patients retain useful vision with treatment and low-vision aids.
