At Focus Eye Care, P.C., we understand the fear and frustration that comes with a diagnosis of macular degeneration. As the leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50, this condition has long been considered something that could only be slowed, not improved. But through our advanced Macula Program, patients now have access to an innovative approach that does more than just manage the disease - it works to stabilize, and in many cases, even reverse its effects.
Macular degeneration is an eye condition that affects the macula - the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. Over time, damage to the macula causes gradual loss of central vision, making it harder to read, recognize faces, or see fine details. Peripheral vision usually remains intact, but the decline in central vision can significantly impact daily activities.
While traditional treatments like the AREDS formulation focus mainly on slowing progression, our Macula Program takes it further. Patients have experienced not only stabilization but measurable improvement in vision, whether dealing with dry or wet forms of macular degeneration. This represents a major shift in what’s possible for those who once felt their options were limited.
For individuals managing wet macular degeneration, injections can be both life-changing and burdensome. The Macula Program incorporates strategies designed to reduce VEGF activity, often leading to fewer injection appointments. For many patients, this means maintaining vision with less disruption to daily life.
No two patients are exactly alike, and neither should their treatment plans be. Unlike standardized supplement formulas, our program begins with comprehensive lab testing to uncover the unique contributors to your condition - ranging from oxidative stress and inflammation to hormonal imbalances. From there, we build a protocol tailored specifically to your needs, giving you a truly individualized path toward healthier eyes.
Beyond antioxidant support, our Macula Program looks deeper - working at the genetic and cellular level. By promoting positive gene expression (epigenetics) and enhancing cellular health, we help your body naturally resist further degeneration. This whole-body approach provides benefits that go well beyond the scope of traditional supplementation.
Macular degeneration no longer has to feel like an inevitable decline in vision. With our Macula Program, patients can take an active role in protecting and improving their sight with a treatment approach that addresses the condition from every angle.
