At Eye Check Calgary, we don’t wait for vision loss to happen. Our macular degeneration exams are designed to catch early signs before symptoms show up, because when it comes to the health of your retina, timing is everything. With hospital-grade tools like 3D OCT and fundus photography, we examine the deepest layers of the eye and track subtle changes over time. If you have a family history of AMD, or you’re over 60, this is one checkup you don’t want to skip.

Macular Degeneration Exams in Calgary
Macular degeneration most commonly affects adults over 55, especially those with a family history of the condition. But age isn’t the only factor. Smoking, poor diet, high blood pressure, and prolonged UV exposure can all increase your risk. Women tend to be slightly more affected than men, and people with lighter eye colour may also face higher risk due to lower pigment protection.
Even if you’re not showing symptoms, you could still have early signs of damage. That’s why we check every patient with hospital-grade scans—because macular degeneration doesn’t wait for you to notice. If you’re over 60 or have any risk factors, routine screening is a smart move.
Macular degeneration doesn’t announce itself. There’s no pain, no early warning signs — and that’s what makes it dangerous. At Eye Check Calgary, we screen proactively, especially if you have risk factors like age, smoking history, or genetics. AMD affects your central vision, and without early detection, it can cause permanent damage. The good news: today’s diagnostic technology allows us to catch even the tiniest retinal changes before they impact how you see.
Here’s how we stay ahead of macular degeneration:
Call us today, it is never to early for a AMD screening
At Eye Check Calgary, we treat every exam as an opportunity to uncover more than just vision issues. With advanced technology and a proactive mindset, we help you stay ahead of preventable problems and live with greater confidence in your care.
We use 3D OCT scans and fundus photography for all ages—not just when there's a problem. This helps us detect issues like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and optic nerve inflammation early.
All seniors receive visual field testing, helping us detect past strokes or neurological issues that may have gone unnoticed. This proactive approach allows us to coordinate timely care with your family doctor or specialists if needed.
Children often can’t describe their vision issues. That’s why we give them the same detailed exams as adults, helping catch problems before they affect learning and development.
When a patient’s scan shows a serious concern—like papilledema or signs of a retinal detachment—we act fast. We've coordinated emergency care, even calling ambulances when needed.
Our team has the freedom to go above and beyond. If someone’s in crisis or can’t afford care, we make it right—because kindness should never come with a price tag.
A rushed checkup can’t protect your future. That’s why we take the time to do this right.
Macular degeneration exams at Eye Check Calgary aren’t just a quick look; they’re a full, layered assessment using everything from diagnostic imaging to lifestyle risk analysis. If you’re in your 60s or older, or if someone in your family has AMD, it’s time to take your retinal health seriously.
We look for changes in the retinal layers, including fluid, drusen, or pigment abnormalities using 3D scans and imaging.
Anyone over 60, smokers, and those with a family history of AMD should have regular screenings.
It’s a detailed retinal assessment that uses advanced tools like OCT scans and retinal photography to detect early signs of AMD.
