Eye on Macular Degeneration: Prevention and Treatment Options
Your Eye-Q Question for the Week:
What are the best prevention and treatment options for macular degeneration?

In this episode of The Eye-Q Podcast, I speak with leading retina specialist Dr. Avnish Deobhakta about macular degeneration. We break down dry versus wet AMD, why genetics and lifestyle both matter, and how new treatments—from supplements to injections and light therapy—are changing outcomes. This conversation offers clarity, reassurance, and practical steps to protect vision at every stage.
Dr. Avnish Deobhakta is a retina specialist and Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai. He focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of macular degeneration and other retinal diseases, and is deeply involved in education, research, and advancing modern approaches to preserving vision.
