Laser surgery has become increasingly popular as an alternative method of treating pressure.
New revolutionary device for the treatment of dry eyes due to Blepharitis/Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), the E-Eye IPL machine.
About 10% of people who have macular degeneration have the wet form, but it can cause more damage to your central or detail vision than the dry form.
Wet macular degeneration occurs when abnormal blood vessels begin to grow underneath the retina. This blood vessel growth is called choroidal neovascularization (CNV) because these vessels grow from the layer under the retina called the choroid. These new blood vessels may leak fluid or blood, blurring or distorting central vision. Vision loss from this form of macular degeneration may be faster and more noticeable than that from dry macular degeneration.
Wet Macular Degeneration Treatment
The earlier that wet macular degeneration is diagnosed and treated, the better chance you have of preserving some or much of your central vision.
Treating the wet form of macular degeneration may involve the use of anti-VEGF treatment, thermal laser treatment. Treatment of wet macular degeneration generally reduces but does not eliminate the risk of severe vision loss.

My son David has been a patient of Mr. Golchin's for 5 years with an on-going, often aggressive eye problem. Without exception Mr. Golchin has always been a pleasure to deal with. He always addressed both David and I in all consultations as individuals and as a family. This has been very important particularly when David was younger. Parents don't like seeing their children unwell so a supportive Doctor is a huge asset. We have had to make some difficult decisions regarding David's treatments over the years and Mr. Golchin has always been honest and expert in these treatments including a few operations over the years. We wish him all the best in his new consulting rooms.
