How should I prepare for an appointment to diagnose macular degeneration?

You should prepare for your appointment to diagnose macular degeneration by recording your symptoms, making a list of your medications, and writing down your questions. Where your symptoms are concerned, mention even ones that might seem unrelated or be embarrassing. When you call to make your appointment, it is a good idea to ask if there are special ways you should prepare for your appointment. Perhaps the receptionist will suggest that you bring a loved one to the appointment for a few reasons. If your pupils are dilated for the exam, you may need help finding your way home because of the temporary vision change.
