February is AMD Awareness Month!

February is Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Awareness Month.  This is a great time to remind you that it is important to know risk factors and symptoms of AMD and see a retina specialist at the first sign of a symptom. Early diagnosis and treatment is important for optimal outcome.

The American Society of Retinal Specialists (ASRS) has important information available to the public that will enable you to know how to safeguard your vision and learn about the risks and symptoms of AMD.
