Macular degeneration is diagnosed through comprehensive eye exams, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography. Treatment depends on the type—dry macular degeneration is managed with lifestyle changes and supplements, while wet macular degeneration may require anti-VEGF injections, laser therapy, or photodynamic therapy.
