Macular degeneration is one of the worst eye diseases. It affects the macula. Central vision is lost.
Depending on the type of macular degeneration, surgery can restore some vision.
Unfortunately, in some cases, vision can be lost forever.
To help prevent this disease, quit smoking and wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays.
Anti-oxidants can also help prevent macular degeneration.
If surgery is not an option, a magnifier can be helpful for those with macular degeneration.
Cataract is an eye disease by which the lens becomes opaque (cloudy) and vision is blurry even with brand new glasses.
Cataracts must be surgically removed to restore vision. These days a good surgeon can perform this surgery within 15 minutes.
Ultraviolet light from the sun contributes to cataract formation. Wear sunglasses with 100%
UV protection while outside during daytime.
Maintain good ocular health with anti-oxidants.
If surgery is not an option, a magnifier can be helpful for those with cataracts.
