What is Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Age Related Macular Degeneration is the most common form of registered blindness in the western world.
We are the largest macular degeneration clinic in Cork with the highest number of injections given on a weekly basis.
It is thought to affect one in ten people over 55. AMD can be irreversible and lead to a reduced quality of life due to difficulty in performed everyday tasks.
AMD is an eye disease that causes the breakdown of the macula, which is located in the centre of the retina towards the back of the eye. The macula is responsible for central vision and allows you to see details. People living with AMD may notice a dark spot or black area in the centre of their vision. This caused difficulties in activities such as reading and driving, even just seeing other peoples faces.

VIEW ALLWhat Our Patients Say
After visiting my G.P regarding my failing eyesight, I was diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes. I was sent for a consultation with Mr Golchin.
Mr Golchin met me in late January 2012. He planned for removal of the cataracts with the procedure to be scheduled during the following two months. As I was extremely nervous. I requested that the procedure be carried out under full anaesthetic. The first procedure, for removal of the cataracts was carried out on 27th February, 2012, followed by the second and final procedure being carried out on 30th March, 2012.
My vision now. at 20/20, is better than it has been in many years. I have returned to driving and take the simple things, which were once almost impossible, in my stride.
My Entire experience with Mr Golchin was very satisfactory and I highly recommend him to anyone contemplating eye surgery.
