Unit 6: Differential Diagnosis of Blurred Vision

Management

  • For unilateral disease, use Amsler chart to monitor for fellow eye involvement
  • Stop smoking
  • Counselling
  • Low vision aids
  • Registration as 'sight impaired' or 'severely sight impaired' (for social support)
  • Wet AMD treated with regular intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF drugs
  • If one eye develops wet AMD, specific dietary supplements may reduce the risk of fellow eye involvement
