Retina Condition

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Treatment in Gurgaon

If straight lines have started to look wavy, or the centre of your vision is turning blurry or dim, it deserves a specialist’s attention — not a wait-and-watch at home. AMD is one of the most common causes of central-vision loss after 50, and while it cannot be reversed, timely diagnosis and treatment can slow its progression and help protect the sight you have.

The Condition

What is AMD?

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula — the small central part of the retina responsible for sharp, straight-ahead vision. Because the macula does the detailed work of the eye, AMD makes tasks like reading, driving, recognising faces and seeing fine detail progressively harder.

An important point that reassures most patients: AMD affects central vision, not the whole visual field. It does not usually cause total blindness, because side (peripheral) vision is typically preserved. What is at stake is the clarity of the central vision you rely on every day — which is exactly why early, specialist-led care matters.

AMD becomes more common with age. Globally it is a leading cause of vision impairment in people over 50, and the number of people affected worldwide is projected to rise from about 196 million in 2020 to roughly 288 million by 2040 as populations age (Wong et al., The Lancet Global Health, 2014). In India, population studies have reported late-stage AMD in around 1.2% of people aged 60 and over, with overall AMD prevalence across Indian studies ranging from about 1.4% to 3.1% (Krishnan et al., Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science / INDEYE study, 2010). As Gurgaon’s older population grows, so does the need for accessible retina care close to home.

Dry vs Wet

Types of AMD

There are two main types of AMD, and telling them apart guides the entire treatment plan.

More common · slower

Dry AMD (Atrophic)

The most common form — roughly 8 or 9 in 10 people with AMD have the dry type. It develops slowly, as the macula gradually thins and small deposits called drusen build up. Early on there may be no symptoms at all; over time, central vision can become blurred. Dry AMD is managed and monitored rather than injected.

Less common · faster

Wet AMD (Exudative)

Less common but more urgent. Abnormal blood vessels grow beneath the retina and leak fluid or blood, which can cause rapid central-vision loss over days to weeks. Although wet AMD accounts for the minority of cases, it is responsible for about 90% of the severe vision loss caused by AMD (American Academy of Ophthalmology). The good news is that wet AMD is also the type that responds to modern injection treatment — which is why sudden changes in vision should be checked without delay.

Dry AMD can also convert to wet AMD, sometimes suddenly. That is why home monitoring and regular reviews are part of every AMD care plan at our centre.

Symptoms

Symptoms of AMD

Many people do not realise they have AMD until it starts affecting their sight, and early dry AMD often causes no symptoms. When symptoms do appear, the most common are:

Blurred or dim central vision

Faces and print lose their sharpness while the edges of your vision stay clear.

Straight lines that look wavy or bent

A door frame, tiled floor or the lines of a book may appear distorted. This is an important warning sign of wet AMD.

Difficulty adapting to low light

It takes longer than it used to when moving from bright to dim surroundings.

Colours that look faded

Or a blurred or blank patch developing in the centre of your vision.

When to seek prompt care

A sudden change in central vision — new distortion, a fresh blurred or dark central spot, or a quick drop in clarity — can signal wet AMD, where earlier treatment gives the best chance of protecting vision. If this happens, arrange an urgent retina evaluation rather than waiting for a routine appointment.

Call +91 81786 39701

This is guidance, not a diagnosis — any new visual change should be assessed by an eye specialist.

Over 50, or a family history of AMD?

A retina evaluation with an OCT scan picks up macular change before you notice it. Book one even if your vision feels normal.

Diagnosis

How is AMD Diagnosed?

Early detection is one of the few things genuinely within our control with AMD, so an accurate diagnosis is the foundation of care. If you notice symptoms — or if you are over 50 and at higher risk — a retina specialist may recommend:

1

Visual acuity test

A standard eye exam measuring how clearly you see at different distances.

See what a detailed eye exam includes

2

Amsler grid test

A simple grid of straight lines; if any appear wavy, broken or missing, it can point to macular change. It is also the tool you will use to monitor your own vision at home.

3

Fundus photography

A specialised camera captures detailed images of the retina to document any changes and track them over time.

4

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

A quick, non-contact scan that produces highly detailed cross-sectional images of the macula. OCT is central to AMD care because it reveals fluid, swelling and structural change — especially in wet AMD — often before vision drops noticeably, and it guides when injections are needed and whether they are working. Where wet AMD is suspected, a fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) may also be used to map the leaking vessels.

For comprehensive care of all retinal disorders, including AMD, see our Retina Treatment page.

Treatment

Managing and Treating AMD

AMD cannot currently be cured, and no treatment reverses vision that has already been lost. What treatment can do — and does well when started in time — is slow the disease and help preserve the vision you still have. The right plan depends on whether you have dry or wet AMD, which is why diagnosis comes first.

Managing Dry AMD

There is no injection for dry AMD. Care focuses on slowing progression and catching any conversion to wet AMD early.

AREDS2 formula
Nutritional supplements (AREDS2)

For people with intermediate AMD, a specific combination of vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, copper, lutein and zeaxanthin has been shown to reduce the risk of progressing to advanced AMD by about 25% (National Eye Institute, AREDS/AREDS2 studies). These supplements do not restore lost vision or prevent early AMD, and they are not right for everyone, so they should be taken on a doctor’s advice. You can learn more on our Eye Nutrition Treatment page.

Regular monitoring

Scheduled check-ups let your specialist track the macula over time, and home use of an Amsler grid helps you spot sudden changes between visits so they can be reported quickly.

Treating Wet AMD

Wet AMD is treated with anti-VEGF injections — medicines given into the eye that reduce the abnormal, leaking blood vessels beneath the retina, settling the swelling and helping to limit further vision loss. Commonly used agents include ranibizumab, aflibercept and brolucizumab (and their approved biosimilars). Injections are usually given on a schedule — often starting monthly and then spaced out based on how the macula responds on OCT, typically every 1–2 months at first.

The treatment cycle
InjectionOCT reviewRepeat as needed

Anti-VEGF therapy has changed the outlook for wet AMD. In published clinical experience, treatment stabilises vision in the large majority of patients — on the order of 9 in 10 — and improves vision in a meaningful minority when started early and continued consistently (American Academy of Ophthalmology; retina clinical literature). Results vary from person to person and depend heavily on how promptly treatment begins and how regularly it continues, which is why keeping to the injection and review schedule matters so much.

The injection is done after numbing the eye and is generally well tolerated — most patients describe a brief sensation of pressure rather than sharp pain. As with any procedure it carries small risks, which your specialist will explain during your consultation.

Ongoing Care

Follow-up Care and Lifestyle Changes

Managing AMD is ongoing rather than one-and-done. A consistent follow-up routine is what protects vision over the long term.

Ongoing care

Regular eye exams. People with dry AMD are generally reviewed every 6–12 months; those with wet AMD usually need more frequent visits tied to their injection schedule.

Home monitoring. Using an Amsler grid at home helps detect sudden vision changes so they can be reported and assessed quickly.

Vision rehabilitation. If AMD is affecting daily activities, a low-vision assessment can provide practical tools — magnifiers, better task lighting and other aids — to help you keep reading, working and staying independent. Learn more on our Low Vision Treatment page.

Living well with AMD

Not smoking — the single most important change you can make for your macula.

Keeping blood pressure and cholesterol under control.

Eating a nutrient-rich diet with leafy greens.

Protecting your eyes from excessive sun exposure.

Risk

Managing Risk Factors

Some risk factors for AMD — age, family history and genetics — cannot be changed. Others are within your control, and the single most important modifiable one is smoking, which published research links to roughly a two-to-four-fold higher risk of AMD and faster progression (American Academy of Ophthalmology).

Alongside not smoking, managing blood pressure and cholesterol and protecting your eyes from excessive sun exposure all help.

Cost

AMD Treatment Cost in Gurgaon

The cost of AMD care depends on the type of AMD, its stage, the treatment needed and the anti-VEGF medicine chosen — dry AMD is generally managed with monitoring and supplements, while wet AMD involves injection therapy given over time. The figures below are indicative starting ranges for planning only; they are not a fixed quote, and your exact plan is confirmed after examination.

Item (per eye)Indicative range
Anti-VEGF intravitreal injectionfrom ₹25,000 per injection
Retinal laser photocoagulation (if indicated)₹15,000 – ₹60,000
OCT scan (diagnosis / monitoring)₹4,000 – ₹6,000
Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA)₹3,000 – ₹6,000
Fundus photography₹1,000 – ₹2,500
Comprehensive retina evaluation₹1,000 – ₹2,000

What your estimate includes

Comprehensive retina evaluation with a specialist.

The diagnostic scans your case needs — OCT, fundus photography and FFA where indicated.

A written treatment and follow-up plan, including the likely number of injection visits.

Counsellor support for insurance, TPA approvals and Easy EMI.

What affects your cost

Whether you have dry or wet AMD, and the stage it has reached.

The anti-VEGF medicine chosen — originator or approved biosimilar.

The number of injections and review scans needed over time.

Whether one eye or both eyes are being treated.

Because wet AMD is treated with a series of injections rather than a single procedure, your specialist will explain the likely number of visits for your situation so there are no surprises.

Payment made easier

Easy EMI is available (via Savein), along with cashless insurance/TPA facilities and support for the schemes below where applicable. Insurance coverage for AMD injections varies by policy — our team will help you check yours.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions patients and families ask us most about AMD. For anything specific to your eyes, a consultation gives the clearest answer.

The eye is numbed first, and most patients describe the injection as a brief feeling of pressure rather than sharp pain. Mild redness or a gritty feeling for a day or so is common. Your specialist will talk you through what to expect and the small risks involved before you begin.

It varies. Treatment often starts with monthly injections and is then spaced out based on how your macula responds on OCT — some people need them every 1–2 months, others less frequently over time. Wet AMD is managed as an ongoing course rather than a one-time treatment.

AMD affects central vision, not the whole visual field, so it does not usually cause total blindness — peripheral (side) vision is typically preserved. The goal of treatment is to slow the disease and protect your remaining central vision, which is why early, consistent care matters.

There is currently no cure for AMD, and treatment cannot restore vision that has already been lost. What treatment can do is slow progression and help preserve existing vision — significantly so for wet AMD when injections are started early.

Yes. Dry AMD can convert to wet AMD, sometimes suddenly. That is why home monitoring with an Amsler grid and regular reviews are important — a sudden change in central vision should be checked promptly.

For people with intermediate AMD, the AREDS2 vitamin-and-mineral formula has been shown to reduce the risk of progressing to advanced AMD by about 25% (National Eye Institute). They don’t help early AMD or reverse vision loss and aren’t suitable for everyone, so take them only on a doctor’s advice.

Dry AMD is usually managed with monitoring and supplements, while wet AMD involves a series of anti-VEGF injections starting from around ₹25,000 per injection, plus diagnostic scans. Exact cost depends on the medicine and number of visits and is confirmed after consultation. Easy EMI and cashless insurance options are available.

Age alone does not rule out treatment. Anti-VEGF injections for wet AMD are given well into later life, and the decision is based on the health of your macula and your overall situation — not a cut-off age. A consultation is the best way to know your options.

Protect the Central Vision You Have

One retina evaluation with an OCT scan tells you which type of AMD you have, what stage it is at, and exactly what your treatment plan should be. Our medical counsellors will contact you — no sales, expert consultation.
