Macular Degeneration Care Near York Mills–Silver Hills
Macular degeneration affects more than one person in a household. Families near York Mills–Silver Hills can rely on our North York clinic for careful monitoring and clear guidance.
Caring Together
When a parent or partner is living with macular degeneration, the whole family often plays a role. Dr. Mustafa Rawji provides regular exams to detect and monitor changes, explains findings in plain language, and coordinates referral to a specialist when needed for patients near York Mills–Silver Hills.
Bring a family member to help share history, ask questions, and remember the plan.
Regular exams help identify signs of macular degeneration and track them over time.
When a retina specialist is needed, we help coordinate referral and stay involved in routine care.
What to Expect
Each visit is tailored to your history and findings. Here is the general process.
Patients and caregivers can describe changes, health conditions, medications, and family history.
We assess clarity and ask about distortion, blur, or missing areas in the centre of vision.
Your optometrist examines the back of the eye and may recommend additional testing.
We explain the findings, set follow-up, and coordinate specialist care when needed.
For Caregivers
Adult children and partners often notice changes first: a parent who stops reading, struggles with faces, or mentions that lines look bent. If you see these signs, encourage an eye exam. Many caregivers near York Mills–Silver Hills come along to help describe what they have observed at home.
During the visit, you are welcome to ask questions and take notes. Your optometrist will explain the findings and the monitoring plan in clear terms. Leaving with a shared understanding makes it easier to support your loved one between appointments.
There is room for you to sit in on the visit.
The Long View
There is no cure for macular degeneration, but early detection and ongoing monitoring help patients and their care team respond to changes. Some people need regular checks at our clinic, while others are referred to a retina specialist. We help coordinate that care and keep you informed.
Contact the clinic promptly at (416) 497-3705 if you notice a sudden change in central vision, such as new distortion or a dark spot. If vision loss comes on suddenly with stroke-like symptoms, call 911. Between visits, keep track of any changes to share at the next appointment.
Updated glasses can help make the most of remaining vision.
