What Is Macular Degeneration?
Macular degeneration is an eye disease that harms the macula, the tiny central area of the retina that enables sharp, detailed sight. It is one of the primary causes of vision loss in people over 50, affecting everyday tasks such as reading, driving, and identifying faces.
At Vision Gallery, our macular degeneration specialists diagnose the condition early and create a tailored care plan to protect your sight. We use advanced retinal imaging and eye health assessments to detect the earliest signs of damage, even before noticeable symptoms appear.
 
															Types of Macular Degeneration
There are two primary forms of macular degeneration, and identifying the correct type is essential for effective care:
- Dry Macular Degeneration
This is the most frequent type, developing as the macula slowly becomes thinner over time. It progresses slowly and can be managed with regular monitoring, lifestyle changes, and targeted nutritional support.
- Wet Macular Degeneration
Wet macular degeneration, though less common, is more aggressive and happens when abnormal blood vessels form beneath the retina, leaking fluid or blood. Without timely macular degeneration treatment, it can lead to swift and significant vision loss.
 
															Common Symptoms of Macular Degeneration
Many people experience no symptoms in the early stages, which is why regular eye exams are critical. As the condition progresses, you may notice:
- Blurry or distorted central vision
- Difficulty seeing fine details
- Shadows or blank areas in your central vision
- Colors appearing less vivid
- Trouble recognizing faces
If you experience sudden vision changes, especially with distortion or blank spots, seek immediate evaluation from a macular degeneration specialist.
How We Diagnose Macular Degeneration
During your exam, our eye doctors in Katy use advanced retinal imaging, OCT scans, and dilated eye exams to diagnose macular degeneration at the earliest stage, which includes:
- Reviewing your vision and health history
- Visual acuity and central vision testing
- Amsler grid testing for distortion detection
- Retinal imaging and optical coherence tomography (OCT)
- Dilated eye exams to examine the retina in detail

Specialized tools and devices designed to help you make the most of your remaining sight

															Why Early Detection Matters
Since macular degeneration usually progresses gradually and without discomfort, many individuals don’t realize they have it until noticeable vision changes appear. Detecting the condition early allows for prompt macular degeneration treatment, helping slow progression and preserve functional vision for as long as possible.

What Our Client Say
About Vision Gallery
				Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I suffered so much from dry eye in the mornings that I felt like I woke up in the Sahara. I tried drops that would only work for a little while and was super inconvenient. Dr Ma recommended the OptiLight and OptiLift system for the problem. I have been doing these treatments for at least two months. My results have been amazing so far. My eyelids have lifted my face looks refreshed and I have very little to no symptoms of dry eye! These procedure has very few rules after and the results are life changing to me. It’s worth all the time and money.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Christine was so helpful customer service was 10 out of 10!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been coming to Dr Ma about 2 years now. She is the sweetest, most thorough eye dr I have ever been to. She takes the time needed to explain and make sure I understand everything pertaining to my plan of treatment. All of the other eye doctors I had been to gave me the test, gave me my prescription, sold me the glasses and I was out the door. After coming to Dr. Ma. I realized I had never actually had a proper eye exam. My eyes were feeling tired and strained. She did my exam and I indeed needed a new script. I was also tested for dry eye which she showed me on the screen and explained in great detail what was going on with my eyes and what the plan of treatment was going to be. After being treated for dry eye ( no, it’s not just feeling like you eyes need drops). There is a treatment therapy for this. I literally felt like I had a new pair of eyes. I can’t believe I had never been tested for that. I’ve been wearing glasses over 10 years. The staff is Exceptional. They are patient, kind, always accommodating and knowledgeable. I’m so happy I have found Dr. Ma and her staff. I will never go to another eye doctor! I walked out of there, feeling so confident that all my issues had been addressed. My eyes felt better. I love the glasses that I got and they were very patient in helping me make sure I had the right fit and everything was as it should be. If there’s anything I need or I have a question they are always available, ready to answer and assist. They definitely care about their patients and always go above and beyond to help anyway they can. I am definitely impressed and will not go anywhere else!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
