Updates on the Diagnosis and Management of Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Michael Stewart, MD, a professor of ophthalmology in the Department of Ophthalmology, at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, shares insights from his article appearing in the August 2024 issue of MCP:IQ&O, where he and the co-authors researched and reviewed the literature on age-related macular degeneration to highlight some of the important issues for physicians such as management of risk factors and determining symptoms that require further evaluation and referrals to ophthalmologists. Dr. Stewart concludes that early diagnosis, prompt referral, and initiation of treatment gives patients the best opportunity to a meaningful long-term outcome with maintenance of vision and optimization of visual function.
