"Smoking is the only proven cause of AMD that people can do anything about."
Macular Degeneration Treatment programmes can only have a limited degree of success so prevention has to be better than cure.
The main thrust of this site is to highlight the preventative measures that a healthy diet and supplements, often called eye vitamins, have in the fight against Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). The antioxidants contained in the various supplements and foodstuffs available today have proved beneficial in the prevention of and reducing the severity of this condition as well as promoting overall ocular health.
Macular degeneration is an incurable eye disease and is the main cause of legal blindness of people who are 55 and older in Europe and North America. This condition is more commonly known as AMD or Age Related Macular Degeneration which causes damage to the area of the eye called the macular. The damage occurs slowly over a period of time, but the progress is relentless.
Briefly, the macular forms the central part of the retina and is responsible for very fine and clear vision. The retina is responsible for sending light to the brain and acts much the same as film in a camera.
Risk Factors for A.M.D.
• FAMILY HISTORY OF AMD
• LOW MACULAR PIGMENT LEVELS
• SMOKING
• OBESITY (Especially Belly Fat)
• HIGH CHOLESTEROL
• HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
