Macular Degeneration Care Near Willowdale East
Reading, faces, and fine detail depend on a healthy macula. Willowdale East residents can visit our North York clinic for exams focused on detecting and monitoring macular changes.
Attentive Monitoring
Macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults. Dr. Mustafa Rawji uses regular exams to look for signs of the condition, follow changes over time, and coordinate specialist referrals when they are needed.
Routine exams can help identify signs of macular degeneration before symptoms become obvious.
Monitoring visits help track changes and guide how often you should be seen.
We explain findings, next steps, and any referral in language that is easy to follow.
What to Expect
Each visit is shaped by your history and past findings. Here is a typical outline.
Tell us about any change in central vision and your general and family health history.
We check your visual clarity and compare it with previous results.
Your optometrist looks closely at the macula and retina for signs of change.
Discuss results, set a monitoring schedule, and arrange a referral if specialist care is recommended.
Central Vision
The macula is responsible for the sharp central vision you use to read, recognize faces, and see fine detail. Macular changes may cause straight lines to look wavy or create a blurry spot in the middle of your view. If you notice anything like this, tell your optometrist and do not wait for a routine visit if the change is sudden.
Early stages may not cause noticeable symptoms, which is why regular exams matter. Age and family history can affect your risk. Your optometrist will recommend an exam schedule that reflects your personal situation.
Good lighting and the right lenses can support everyday reading.

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.
