AMD Treatment

AMD Treatment at IOES

Protecting Your Vision with Expert Care

AMD treatment focuses on protecting your central vision and slowing or managing the progression of the condition. The approach depends on whether you have dry AMD or wet AMD, as each requires a different strategy. At IOES, your care is consultant-led and tailored to your specific diagnosis.

Who It Is For

AMD treatment may be recommended if:

  • You have been diagnosed with AMD
  • You are experiencing changes in central vision
  • You have been identified as at risk of progression
  • You have wet AMD that requires active treatment

Early treatment, particularly for wet AMD, plays a critical role in preserving vision.

Benefits and Limitations

Our role is to help you understand what to expect and support you through each stage.

  • Helps preserve and protect remaining vision
  • Can slow progression of the condition
  • In wet AMD, treatment may stabilise or improve vision
  • Provides ongoing monitoring and support
  • AMD cannot always be reversed
  • Some vision changes may be permanent
  • Treatment may require ongoing visits

Risks and Safety

AMD treatments are well established and carefully managed.

At IOES, we prioritise:

  • Accurate diagnosis using advanced imaging
  • Evidence-based treatment approaches
  • Close monitoring of your response to treatment

Any risks will be clearly explained so you feel informed and reassured.

What Happens Before, During & After

Before:

  • Detailed diagnostic imaging including OCT scans
  • Assessment of the type and stage of AMD
  • A clear explanation of your treatment options

During:

  • Treatment depends on the type of AMD
  • For wet AMD, this may include injections into the eye
  • All procedures are performed with care and precision

After:

  • Ongoing monitoring to track progression
  • Repeat imaging and vision assessments
  • Adjustments to your care plan as needed

Many patients feel reassured knowing their condition is being closely monitored and actively managed.

Recovery and Follow-Up

AMD care is ongoing rather than one-time.

Most patients:

  • Attend regular follow-up appointments
  • Undergo repeat imaging to monitor changes
  • Receive guidance on protecting their vision

We stay closely involved to ensure you always understand what is happening and what comes next.
