The devastating facts about Macular Degeneration can be hard to understand and explain. This infographic breaks down the disease, the different types and how people are affected by it so you can understand why overall ocular health is important!
PLAQUENIL is useful in patients who had systemic lupus erythematosus and acute or chronic rheumatoid artheritis. After prolonged use, usually at least 5 years, pateints may rarely develop retinal toxicity from plaquenil.

Macular Degeneration is a condition in which the central part of the back of the eye loses blood circulation. It is considered an abnormal aging process. There is a breakdown of retinal pigment epithelium cells in the macular region. As the disease progresses, central vision diminishes. It is believed that this breakdown may be due to a lack of nutrients being supplied to the region. Additional studies have found a genetic link to this disease.Genetic testing can be performed in our offices.

Module 9. Minocycline: Papilledema. A similar side-effect is seen in some patients who use tetracycline or isotretinoin (brand name Accutane) chronically.
Retinal hemangioblastomas are seen in 50% of people with Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome. The one seen here has large dilated feeder vessels that leaked serum leading to retinal exudates. Risk of tractional retinal detachment is higher if accompanied by fibrous proliferation.
