Laser surgery is a common treatment for early macular degeneration. It involves using a laser to destroy abnormal blood vessels in the retina to slow the progression of the disease. Eye drops and prescription glasses may be prescribed for other eye conditions, but they are not effective treatments for macular degeneration. Removal of the lens of the eye is a treatment for cataracts, but it is not used for macular degeneration.
