What is Dry AMD

Dry age-related macular degeneration is a common condition that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. Over time, the macula can deteriorate, leading to gradual vision loss.

Dry AMD typically progresses slowly, but early detection and management are key to preserving vision for as long as possible. Many patients may not notice symptoms in the early stages, which is why regular eye examinations are essential.

I called on the off chance that Dolphins Opticians could assist me with a set of Sports Glasses (Squash/Tennis). The Dolphins team were friendly and only too willing to assist. Their knowledge of what was available to me was second to none. Thank you for all your help.

Never had such a thorough eye ‘test’. The optometrist was extremely friendly. The ‘health’ of my eyes was also thoroughly examined. Various tests were done using state of the art technology. I was shown the results and the X-rays were discussed. I was then taken to meet a lovely lady who took her time showing me their extensive range of frames. She helped me choose a pair that suited me. The range they have is unbelievable. If you like the frame but want another colour, they can get it. Even the time she spent on ensuring they would fit right was thorough. Measuring various aspects ie pupil distance etc. I would not hesitate to recommend them and will be loyal customer going forward.
