Macular Degeneration Question and Answers

Have a macular degeneration prevention question and want answers?

Or perhaps you have a great tip on juicing or a healthy recipe for eye health. Maybe you've had some success in reversing symptoms through lifestyle changes. Share it with the rest of us.

Our eyesight is very precious and we often take our vision for granted...until it starts to diminish.

With macular degeneration as the leading cause of legal blindness, prevention of this retinal disease needs to be a concern for everyone.

Fortunately, there are lifestyle, diet and nutritional supplements that can help reduce our risk and help to keep our eyes healthy and our vision sharp.

You may be one of those with increased risk factors, such as a strong family history of AMD, years of smoking or high blood pressure. And now you are ready to make choices that will promote your overall health and the health of your eyes.

You have probably heard that as you get older, you can just expect your vision to deteriorate - that it is just part of the aging process. This is not necessarily true. There are steps we can take to be proactive to protect our vision.

I've created this page for you to ask all your questions and get answers that will help to promote a healthy macula and healthy eyesight.

If you know something that will help promote macular degeneration prevention or eye health, this is also the place to offer your tips on protecting your eyes, sharing a great recipe that includes some of those important eye foods like kale or spinach and want to share it. Then help the rest of us by sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for asking your question or sharing your tip!
