Macular Dystrophy Treatment in Iran: how to track progress and know when to act
With macular dystrophy, careful watching is often the most useful treatment. This guide shows how to keep a simple progress record and which changes should prompt a visit.
Why a progression log helps
Macular dystrophies change slowly, so small shifts are easy to miss between visits. A written log of vision, scans and daily function shows the true pace of change.
It also helps the doctor spot a complication early, such as fluid or abnormal vessels, which can be treated.
