I have a macular problem and low vision, what medications or eye drops can I use to treat this condition?

Asked by Female, 72 · 5 days ago

Hello. Treatment for macular conditions depends on the specific type you have. For dry macular degeneration, there are no eye drops, but specific antioxidant vitamin supplements (the AREDS2 formula containing lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc, and vitamins C and E) can help slow progression. For wet macular degeneration, highly effective medications called anti-VEGF drugs (such as ranibizumab, aflibercept, or bevacizumab) are used. These are given as comfortable, in-office injections rather than drops to reach the back of the eye directly. Low vision aids can also help maximize your remaining sight. Please consult an ophthalmologist for a personalized evaluation to find the best plan for you.
