• Macular Degeneration
  Macular degeneration is a vision threatening eye condition that becomes more common as we age and affects the part of the retina that gives you your central vision. Macular degeneration does tend to run in families, so if you have family members with macular degeneration, getting your eyes examined by a professional is important. You can help lower your risk for developing macular degeneration by not smoking, eating a healthy diet, and maintaining a heart healthy lifestyle. Multivitamins have also been proven to help in the right circumstances. There are two forms of macular degeneration that you may have heard about, dry and wet. The wet form is less common and means that there is fluid or blood leaking in the back of your eye, which if untreated will lead to blindness. This form often benefits from medication injection, and catching it early is very important to maintaining healthy. To learn more about macular degeneration, click on the link below.
