? A Bit About AMD ?
There is a wide range of AMD-related symptoms, including fading colors, dark spots in central vision, light sensitivity, distorted lines and objects, and others. While AMD is usually painless, it can cause severe deterioration of the central vision.
Dry AMD is the more common variety of the two and occurs gradually as retina cells die off and do not regenerate. Wet AMD, on the other hand, can develop suddenly and is caused by abnormal blood vessels growing into the macula and leaking fluid which causes scarring. Since many patients with dry AMD end up developing wet AMD, early checks for the condition can help to thwart the rapid vision loss associated with the wet variety.
? Westchester Eyes ERG ?
With nearly 20 million adults in the U.S. affected by age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Westchester Eyes ERG testing offers a technologically advanced method for detecting the condition early. The practice uses the LKC RetEval device to issue its electroretinography (ERG) test, which detects functional stress in the retina, optic nerve, and nerve pathways to the brain.
This ERG testing can detect both wet and dry AMD. With the LKD RetEval device, Westchester Eyes is able to detect functional changes to the eye before they develop into structural changes so that you can seek treatment, like anti-vascular endothelial growth factor medication, to prevent further progression of the disease if needed.
The ERG at Westchester Eyes is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the electrical response of the rods and cones, which are the light-sensitive cells of the retina. During the test, one of the practice s specialized optometrists will place an electrode on your cornea after numbing it with eye drops.
