Macular Degeneration Care in Wasilla

The macula is the small spot at the center of the retina that handles fine detail. Age-related macular degeneration wears it down over time. Side vision usually stays, but reading, faces, and small print get harder.

Most cases come on slowly. Some come on faster, which is why we ask patients to call us if straight lines suddenly look wavy or a blurry spot appears in the center of your sight.

Dr. Angeles checks the macula at each yearly exam using dilation and retinal imaging. We compare scans over time to spot small changes early.

If we see drusen, pigment changes, or other early signs, we set a closer follow-up and walk you through what to watch for at home.

Wet macular degeneration and advanced dry cases need a retinal specialist. We coordinate those referrals and stay in the loop so the day-to-day monitoring can happen here in Wasilla.

For most patients, we keep care simple. One doctor, one chart, and a clear plan for when to come back.
