Macular degeneration can be devastating.  Our genetics can help guide risk assessment and follow up pathways for our patients

Join us in this episode as we talk about macular degeneration with Dr. Steven Ferucci! 😃

In this episode, Dr. Steven will answer the following questions:

💡 What can we do to prevent it from getting worse, how can we treat it, and how can we help our patients that have it?

💡 How to assess the risk of developing macular degeneration?

💡 What are the recommendations for a healthy individual with no signs of AMD but with a high genetic risk?

💡 How did the information from the genetic test help either stay the course or help modify the follow-up path for an individual who does have early or intermediate macular degeneration?

💡 What does he have for his patients to monitor their vision at home?

You don't have to lose your vision in your 60's. Let Dr. Steven Ferucci help protect your eyes today! 😉
