Treatment in Minnesota

Treatment options for macular degeneration described on these pages are available in Rochester. Patients benefit from Mayo physicians' extensive expertise in the area, (more than 4,000 patients treated per year) as well as their close collaboration with researchers studying new and emerging treatments. Many patients participate in clinical trials that test the effectiveness of new treatments. Treatment is caried out by specialists in Ophthalmology.

For those who have lost vision due to macular degeneration, low-vision specialists are available at Mayo to fit patients with appropriate optical, electronic and assistive devices. See Mayo Clinic Low-Vision Services.
