Early Symptoms of Macular Dystrophy

Be Diligent About These Early Symptoms of Macular Dystrophy

Lock Family Eye Care treats patients with Macular Dystrophy and age-related Macular Degeneration with effective and gentle care. If you are searching for an optometrist in West Des Moines who can care for the whole family from children to the elderly, visit our eye doctor today. Macular Dystrophy is a rare eye disorder caused by a pigment that builds up in particular cells of the eye. This disorder is genetic and certain signs can be detected in order to save your sight. Unlike age-related macular dystrophy, this condition can affect children and worsens over time. 

Early Signs of Macular Dystrophy

  • Blurring or disturbances to the center of your vision.  

  • Difficulty reading or viewing small details.

  • Remember that often there will be no early signs, but if you have a parent with Best's Disease or Macular Dystrophy you should be monitored from an early age for signs in the retina and macular cells.
