Macular Degeneration Treatment
What is Macular Degeneration?
Dr Chandra Bala on Channel 7
For a million ageing Australians with Macular Degeneration, daily tasks such as reading and driving become challenging. For this group of people, we are hoping to improve their quality of life with a new pioneering treatment that will help them regain their independence.
This new treatment follows the same procedure as your routine cataract surgery but uses a new Intra-Ocular Lens with a built-in magnifier. This will help restore the patient’s central vision allowing them to read, drive and recognise their loved ones.
Dr Andrew Rochford reports on the amazing gift of sight.
