Eyesight is a gift often taken for granted.  As we age, our eyesight can easily deteriorate.  There are different kinds of eye diseases. Age related macular degeneration, is one of the most common eye diseases. .  Taking precautions early is a great way to prevent disease from progressing too quickly and sometimes even from starting.
Age related macular degeneration is a common eye condition,  and leading cause of vision loss in people over the age of 50.  It causes damage to the macula, the area needed for sharp, central vision which lets us see objects straight ahead.   The disease varies in how quickly it can progress and can result in loss of vision in 1 or both eyes.  Objects may appear to be less bright, or blurred in the center.
This at risk for macular degeneration include individuals who smoke, who are  Caucasian, and those who have family members who have had macular degeneration.
We can help our eye health, and slowing of macular degeneration by avoiding smoking, exercising regularly, maintaining normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels as well as eating a healthy diet rich in green leafy vegetables, and fish.
Research has shown a  combination of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta carotene, zinc, and copper have proven effective to reduce the risk of age related macular degeneration.By  adding lutein and zeaxanthin  your chances of slowing this  disease improve even more.  These vitamin mineral combinations are those found in the dark green leafy vegetables and fruits as well as in  fish.   If you are not able to consume these items regularly, talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist about a specific eye health supplement that may be right for you.
As with any medication, consult your own health care team to assure safety of the products for you specifically.

If you have questions about your eye health, contact us today and we can connect you with our On-Site Specialists.
