Macular Care for Scarborough
Macular degeneration can affect the central vision you rely on for reading and recognizing faces. Our clinic just over the Scarborough line helps detect, monitor, and coordinate care for it.
Protecting Central Vision
Macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss, especially among older adults. For patients and families in Scarborough, Dr. Mustafa Rawji provides regular eye exams to look for signs of change and a personalized plan for monitoring and next steps.
Regular exams can help detect macular degeneration in its earliest stages.
Consistent follow-up helps track changes in your eyes over time.
When additional care is needed, we help coordinate referral and keep you informed.
What to Expect
Your visit focuses on your central vision and the health of the back of your eye. A typical exam follows these steps.
Share your health history, family history of eye disease, and any changes in your central vision.
We assess how clearly you see detail and ask about distortion or blurry spots.
Your optometrist examines the back of your eye, including the macula, and explains any further testing.
Discuss your results, set a follow-up schedule, and arrange referral if additional care is needed.
Understanding the Condition
The macula is the small central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision, the kind you use for reading, driving, and recognizing faces. Macular degeneration can affect that central vision, sometimes gradually. Some people notice blurring, distortion, or difficulty with fine detail, while others notice little at first.
Because early changes are not always obvious, routine eye exams are important, particularly as you get older. Let your optometrist know if straight lines look wavy or if reading has become harder. There is no cure, but finding changes early allows monitoring and timely referral.
Familiar faces for regular visits.
Support for Scarborough Seniors
Monitoring macular health often means returning on a regular schedule, so a convenient clinic helps. Our Gordon Baker Road office sits just west of Victoria Park Ave near Steeles, close to many Scarborough neighbourhoods. Family members are welcome to come along and take part in the conversation.
If your exam shows changes that need further care, we will explain what we found and help coordinate a referral. You will know what to watch for between visits and when to call sooner. Our goal is to help you keep the best vision possible and feel supported along the way.
A comfortable place to wait with a family member.
