Macular Care Near Tam O'Shanter–Sullivan
Macular degeneration can affect reading, driving, and recognizing faces. Tam O'Shanter–Sullivan residents can visit our North York clinic for exams that help detect and track macular changes.
Watchful, Personal Care
Macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, and early stages may have no symptoms. Dr. Mustafa Rawji uses regular exams to look for signs, monitor changes, and coordinate referrals to specialist care when appropriate.
We examine the back of the eye for signs of macular degeneration.
Your optometrist recommends how often to return based on your findings and risk factors.
If specialist treatment is recommended, we help coordinate the referral and keep you informed.
What to Expect
Each appointment builds on your history and previous findings. Here is a typical outline.
Share any changes in central vision and your general and family health history.
We measure your vision and compare it with earlier results.
Your optometrist examines the retina and macula for signs of change.
Review findings, set your next visit, and coordinate a referral if specialist care is needed.
Know the Symptoms
The macula provides the detailed central vision you use for reading, driving, and recognizing faces. Changes may show up as a blurry or dark spot in the centre, straight lines that look wavy, or colours that seem less vivid. If you notice any of these, tell your optometrist, and call promptly if they appear suddenly.
Because early macular changes may not be noticeable, routine exams are important, especially as you get older. A family history of macular degeneration may also increase your risk. Mention it when booking so it can be factored into your care.
Your records help us compare changes over time.
