Macular degeneration is a prevalent age-related eye condition that causes vision changes and may result in ‘legal blindness’.
As the growing population over 65 in the US increases, the number of people with macular degeneration is expected to grow. By 2050, the number of people with age-related vision loss is expected to grow to nearly 22 million.
Clearly, macular degeneration is an important issue we need to understand and pay attention to in order to prevent and slow it.
While age is one of the factors that may cause macular degeneration, there are other factors that may also play a role, including a poor diet, nutrient deficiencies, diabetes, smoking, stress, poor sleep, and poor lifestyle choices.
