Degeneração macular relacionada à idade

Exame oftalmológico de rotina

Algumas diretrizes dos EUA recomendam exames de fundo do olho com dilatação das pupilas a cada 2 a 4 anos para pessoas com 40 a 64 anos, e a cada 1 a 2 anos para pacientes com 65 anos ou mais.[37]Prevent Blindness America.

Para adultos assintomáticos com 65 anos ou mais, a US Preventive Services Task Force concluiu que as evidências atuais são insuficientes para recomendar ou não o rastreamento de acuidade visual comprometida.[53]US Preventative Services Task Force.
