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
I would like to thank you once again for the surgery you performed to remove my cataracts. I expected an excellent result and I have not been disappointed.
It has, as I told you last week, been a life changing experience for me and all the small things, that we take for granted when we are young, have been restored to me.
I can now see every leaf on every tree and every petal on my roses from my sitting room - I am so grateful.
Please would you also pass on to your staff, my thanks for always being so considerate and helpful.
