Why We Offer AMD Screenings for Seniors Every First Monday of the Month

At Marshall EyeCare, we believe every member of our community deserves access to quality vision care. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of vision loss in adults over 60, and early detection is the key to protecting sight. To make this important screening more accessible, we proudly offer AMD screenings for seniors on the first Monday of every month.
 

Understanding AMD

AMD affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision. When the macula deteriorates, tasks like reading, driving, and recognizing faces become increasingly difficult. There are two main types of AMD, called dry and wet, and while treatments exist to slow progression, they are most effective when the disease is caught early.
 

Why Regular Screenings Are Crucial

AMD often develops silently. Patients may not notice changes until significant vision loss has already occurred. Regular screenings allow us to detect early warning signs before symptoms become obvious, giving us a chance to intervene with monitoring, lifestyle guidance, or treatment options that can help protect long-term vision.
 

We know consistency matters when it comes to health routines. By designating the first Monday of every month for AMD screenings, we make it easier for seniors and their families to remember when these important checkups are available. This schedule ensures that screenings become a predictable and accessible part of ongoing eye care.
 

Supporting Healthy Vision in Our Community

Our goal is not only to detect AMD but also to support overall eye health for seniors in our community. During these screenings, we can also check for other common age-related conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. Taking the time for regular screenings provides peace of mind and a proactive approach to vision care.
 

Don’t Miss Macula Mondays!

At Marshall EyeCare, we believe that protecting your vision means being proactive, not reactive. Offering AMD screenings on the first Monday of every month is one way we make eye health more accessible for seniors, giving our patients the best chance at maintaining clear vision for years to come.
