Welcome Dr. Jesse Boycott and Dr. Ryan Machiele to the Raleigh Eye Center!
Many people around the world have macular degeneration, a common eye condition. It impairs central vision, so you have trouble reading, driving, seeing faces, and doing other daily tasks. Macular degeneration primarily affects older adults, but younger people can get it too.
In the industrialized world, it is a substantial contributor to blindness. But there is good news. You can diagnose macular degeneration early and stop it from worsening to save your vision.
