Macular Degeneration Care Near Steeles
For adults near Steeles, our clinic just across Victoria Park Avenue offers eye exams that help detect macular degeneration and monitor changes at every visit.
Watchful, Personal Care
Macular degeneration affects the sharp central vision you use for reading, driving, and seeing faces. Dr. Mustafa Rawji helps detect signs early, monitors your eyes over time, and coordinates with specialists when treatment may be needed.
Regular exams help identify signs of macular degeneration, sometimes before symptoms appear.
Follow-up visits track changes over time so your care plan stays up to date.
Bring a loved one to help with questions and keep track of next steps.
What to Expect
Each appointment focuses on detecting change and planning what comes next. Here is a typical visit.
Tell us about vision changes, your general health, and any family history of macular degeneration.
We check clarity and how your central vision is coping with daily tasks.
Your optometrist examines the back of the eye and explains any additional testing recommended.
Agree on monitoring intervals and, when needed, arrange referral for specialist care.
Signs to Report
Macular degeneration may make straight lines look wavy, create a blurry or dark spot in the middle of your vision, or make colours appear less vivid. You might need more light to read or find faces harder to recognize. Mention any of these changes to your optometrist.
Early stages may not cause noticeable symptoms, so regular exams are important, especially as you age or if the condition runs in your family. If your central vision changes suddenly, contact the clinic promptly. If it comes with stroke-like symptoms, call 911.
New glasses may not explain every change.

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.
