If you have Macular Degeneration can ur glasses be updated? |
My gran has macular degegenration and has been having trouble getting her glasses updated as most optomitrists have been turning her away and saying they can not update her glasses due to her condition. Is it possible for her to get her glasses updated? or is she stuck with her glasses for life? thanks that was very helpful :) Your grandma should see an ophthalmologist for a dilated exam. Her glasses can be updated (most people don't need them to be for two years and sometimes longer in adulthood), though it may not improve her vision. Glasses are like the lenses of a camera and the retina is like film in a camera. Even if the glasses are the most correct, you cannot improve a picture with poorer quality film. Good luck! |
