Eyes on Litchfield monitors and manages age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in Bantam, CT. We use retinal imaging / OCT to detect early changes in the macula, track them over time, and coordinate with retina specialists when advanced treatment is needed. Early detection is what protects your central vision.

Macular degeneration doesn’t cause pain, but it can quietly affect your ability to see clearly over time. Because changes often happen gradually, many people don’t notice symptoms right away.

"The BEST eye exam I've ever had. Dr. Plunske is very thorough, she takes the time and answers your questions. I did not feel rushed. Her staff is friendly and very helpful especially with insurance questions."
"In my 60 years of wearing glasses, this was the best exam ever!! And, the NeuroLens change is letting me read without strain. I had given up on reading for enjoyment. Now that is back again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Early signs can include blurred or distorted central vision, difficulty reading in low light, and colors appearing less vivid — though many people experience no noticeable symptoms in the early stages, which is why routine eye exams are so important.
There is currently no cure, but with early detection, consistent monitoring, and the right treatment plan, progression can be slowed and vision preserved.
Macular degeneration affects central vision but does not cause total blindness — peripheral vision typically remains, and early management can help protect the vision you rely on most.
Risk factors include age (50+), family history, smoking, cardiovascular disease, and high blood pressure — a comprehensive eye exam can help evaluate your individual risk.
