    After a comprehensive eye exam and an interval of 3 months, I was diagnosed with dry macular degeneration. Is it possible for this to occur so soon?

  2. Yes, it is possible to be diagnosed with macular degeneration in a short amount of time. Many of my patients have a certain amount of “pigmentation” in their macula. This pigmentation may be harmless or it may be a harbinger of more serious aging changes such as macular degeneration.

    Every eye doctor’s threshold for calling this pigmentation “macular degeneration” is a little different. Your macular appearance must have crossed your doctor’s personal threshold.
