Steady, Attentive Care

Early detection and ongoing support.

Macular degeneration affects the part of the eye responsible for sharp central vision and is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. Regular exams help detect changes early. Dr. Mustafa Rawji monitors your eyes over time, explains what he sees, and coordinates referral to a specialist when further care is needed.

Looking for early signs

Comprehensive exams can help detect signs of macular degeneration before you notice major changes.

Changes tracked over time

Regular monitoring helps your optometrist spot progression and adjust your care plan.

Coordinated next steps

If specialist care is needed, we help coordinate a referral and keep you informed.

What to Expect

What a monitoring visit includes.

Each visit is shaped by your history and any changes since your last exam. Here is the usual flow.

  1. Review your history

    We ask about changes in your central vision, your general health, and any family history.

  2. Check your vision

    We assess how clearly you see up close and at distance, and note any changes from previous visits.

  3. Examine the back of the eye

    Your optometrist examines the macula and may recommend additional testing based on your needs.

  4. Plan ongoing care

    We discuss the findings, your monitoring schedule, and whether a referral to a specialist is needed.

Know Your Risk

Age and family history matter.

Macular degeneration is more common as we get older, and a family history of the condition can raise your risk. Smoking and other health factors may also play a role. Sharing this information helps your optometrist decide what to watch for and how often you should be seen.

Early stages may cause few symptoms. Later, you might notice blurry or distorted central vision, straight lines that look wavy, or difficulty reading and recognizing faces. Let us know promptly if you notice any of these changes, rather than waiting for your next routine visit.

Dr rawji and patty are great. I’ve been with them for over 10 years. He was concerned of an issue that I was getting and sent me to a specialist. Patty always make sure that I get Stylish classes every couple of years. Their new office is nice and it located close to 404 and 401.
