Macular Degeneration Management

Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in America. It results from changes to the macula, a portion of the retina that is responsible for clear, sharp 20/20 visual acuity.

As macular degeneration advances, a distorted, dark, or empty area often appears in the center of vision.

Most people with macular degeneration have the dry form, where patients are told there is no treatment. Dr. Siebert offers personal advice, theta healing, nutritional counseling and detoxification programs to assist and empower patients to take charge of their health and help improve their vision. Research indicates certain vitamins and minerals help prevent or slow the progression of macular degeneration.

The less common wet form may respond to laser procedures, if diagnosed and treated early.

Common symptoms are a gradual loss of ability to see objects clearly, distorted vision, a gradual loss of color vision and a dark or empty area appearing in the center of vision.
