Macular Care Near Milliken
Our North York clinic, a short drive west of Milliken along Steeles, offers eye exams to help detect macular degeneration and ongoing monitoring for patients who have it.
For Older Adults and Their Families
Macular degeneration affects the part of the eye used for detailed, central vision. Dr. Mustafa Rawji helps patients from Milliken with exams to detect it, regular monitoring to track changes, and referral to a specialist when treatment may be needed.
Regular exams give your optometrist the chance to spot early signs before you notice them.
A clear follow-up schedule helps track changes in your macula over time.
We explain findings in plain language and welcome family members to join the conversation.
What to Expect
Each appointment focuses on your central vision and the back of your eyes. Here is the usual sequence.
Tell us about vision changes, general health, smoking history, and family history of eye disease.
We check how clearly you see and may test for distortion in your central vision.
Your optometrist looks closely at the macula and explains any additional testing recommended.
Agree on monitoring intervals, and arrange a specialist referral if further care is needed.
What to Notice
Some people with macular degeneration notice that straight lines, like door frames or tiles, start to look bent. Others find it harder to read, recognize faces, or see colours as vividly. In the early stages, there may be no noticeable symptoms at all.
That is why regular eye exams matter, especially as you get older or if macular degeneration runs in your family. If you notice a sudden change in your central vision, contact the clinic promptly. Your optometrist will examine your eyes and explain the findings.
Changes in central vision are worth reporting.
Close to Milliken
Ongoing care for macular degeneration usually means regular visits. Our clinic at 105 Gordon Baker Road is near Victoria Park Avenue and Steeles Avenue East, a straightforward drive west from Milliken. Many patients come with a family member, who is always welcome to join the appointment.
If your optometrist finds signs that need specialist attention, we will help coordinate a referral. We also continue to see you for routine eye care so you have a familiar point of contact. There is no cure for macular degeneration, but early detection and consistent monitoring are valuable.
A comfortable place to wait.

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.
