Macular Degeneration
Macular Degeneration (MD) is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys central vision. Central vision occurs at the macula on the retina, at the back of the eye. In some cases, MD advances so slowly that people fail to notice the gradual deterioration of their vision. In others, the disease progresses faster and may lead to a permanent loss of central vision. OCT scans may be required in a macular degeneration test these at present are not covered by Medicare and the fee for this scan is $50
