Macular Pigment Density Test

There is now compelling evidence that people with low macular pigment levels are at risk in later life of developing AMD. It is recommended that people from the age of 30 years onwards include this test as part of their normal eye care programme because macular pigment depletes with age.

Individuals now have an opportunity to remove a major risk factor of developing AMD and going blind by taking this test to see how much projective macular pigment they have remaining. It is now possible to restore the density of the macular pigment by dietary supplementation. The supplement we are recommending is MACUSHIELD, but we suggest that you do not take our word for it and check it out for yourself.

Inside and at the back of the eye, the retina is the only place in the body where arteries and veins can be visually inspected. Blood vessels here are branches of the body's larger circulatory tree and are an excellent reflector of general health. For example, life's total accumulation of cholesterol can be seen on the walls of arterioles (small arteries).

"Smoking is the only proven cause of AMD that people can do anything about."

Thanks go to www.edinburgh-eyetests.co.uk/ for their Macuscope information displayed on this page.

"The Macuscope is a heterochromatic flicker photometer and measures the amount of protective macular pigment by flashing blue and green lights in an alternating flicker pattern. The blue light is absorbed by the macular pigment but not the green. The amount of blue light required to be equally effective as the green yields the pigment density. This simple, none invasive test, which is safe and painless, takes only a few minutes to perform and will save some patients the misery of losing their sight."

Macular Degeneration Treatment programmes can only have a limited degree of success so prevention has to be better than cure.
