Macular Degeneration - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Or you may be someone who is asking what can I do to prevent my eyes from developing macular degenerative disease through lifestyle, diet or supplements.

Here you will find answers to many of your questions like:

√ What can I do to reduce my risk of developing macular degenerative disease?

√ What are macular degeneration symptoms?

Hello, my name is Leslie Degner.

As a registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing, and 20 years of RN experience, my goal is to educate and to raise awareness on macular degeneration causes, symptoms and treatment and to bring hope to those who have been diagnosed with it.

As a daughter-in-law to someone who is struggling with AMD and a wife to someone with an extensive family history, our goal is to assist those who are living with this degenerative eye disease, and to prevent the development of AMD in our eyes and our childrens' eyes.

Leslie, I knew nothing about the subject when I was shocked to be told that my eyes showed beginning macular degeneration. I wrote the term into a search box and your site came up in response. Since then, I have >b>learned a great deal from the letters you publish, the research and other information you post and your answers to the people who write to you.

Most personally useful to me was your answer to my question about considering cataract surgery and its possible positive and/or negative effects on macular degeneration. You had no easy answers but you quoted from the way a most authoritative site considered that question. It was helpful to me in trying to decide about that question. Thank you for your efforts.
