Welcome to Longmont Vision Source, P.C.

February is Age-related Macular Degeneration Month.          

Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is a retinal degenerative disease that causes progressive loss of central vision. The risk of developing macular degeneration increases with age. The disease most often affects people in their sixties and seventies. Macular degeneration is the most common cause of vision loss in individuals over the age of fifty-five. There are approximately 200,000 new cases of wet macular degeneration in the United States each year. Like many ocular conditions, the sooner it is diagnosed, the better the prognosis for treatment.
