COLLEYVILLE, TX, March 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) Age Related Macular Degeneration is a chronic disease that causes loss of central vision and affects more than 10 million Americans. Macular Degeneration can dramatically impair "straight-ahead" vision, which is critical to daily activities such as reading and driving. Macular Degeneration occurs in the macula, the part of the eye that allows you to see color and fine detail. While most cases progress slowly and painlessly over time, for some people it can rapidly lead to loss of vision. Macular Degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss in Americans over the age of 60. This month is Age Related Macular Degeneration/ Low Vision Month - if you or someone you know is middle aged, has a family history of macular degeneration, is obese, smokes, has a history of cardiovascular disease such as stroke, high blood pressure or heart disease, it is a great time to renew your commitment to achieving the best possible control of your vision, and to maintain the best possible eye health.
Early detection by an eye care specialist can reduce the impact of Age Related Macular Degeneration.
