Macular Degeneration Care Near Vaughan
Older adults and families from Vaughan visit our North York clinic for eye exams that help detect macular degeneration and monitor changes over time.
Detection and Monitoring
Macular degeneration affects the centre of your vision, the part you use to read, drive, and see faces. It is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, and early stages may cause few symptoms. Dr. Mustafa Rawji looks for signs, tracks changes, and coordinates referral to a specialist when further care is needed.
Comprehensive exams help reveal signs of macular degeneration, often before you notice changes.
Each visit is compared with the last so progression can be identified.
We explain what is happening and help coordinate specialist care when appropriate.
What to Expect
Each visit builds on your history and any earlier findings. Here is what is usually involved.
Share any changes in your central vision, health updates, and family history.
We check how clearly you see near and far and compare with past results.
Your optometrist looks at the back of your eye and may recommend further testing.
We discuss the findings, your monitoring schedule, and any referral that is needed.
Understanding the Condition
As macular degeneration progresses, central vision may become blurry or distorted. Straight lines may look wavy, and reading or recognizing faces can become harder. Side vision is often less affected.
Age and family history are key risk factors, and smoking may increase risk. Tell your optometrist about these at your visit. Doing so helps set the right monitoring schedule for you.
Your records help us compare changes over time.

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.
