Macular Degeneration: Researching a Cure

Macular degeneration is a leading cause of visual impairment in people over 65 and can lead to blindness. One in three people will eventually suffer some degree of macular degeneration, which is caused by abnormal blood vessels under the retina, the light-sensitive part of the eye. We treat both the more common “dry” as well as the more dangerous “wet” forms of macular degeneration. While there is currently no cure for this disease, we offer the latest treatments to reduce the risk of vision loss and blindness. These include anti-VEGF drugs—which attack proteins that create the abnormal blood vessels that cause macular degeneration—and photodynamic therapy, in which patients ingest medication that is then activated with a laser.

Eye exercises and nutrients every day have helped me keep it at bay. A black spot showed up in the center of my right eye. I seen a eye specialists and told nothing can be done. I said BS and it took four months but I eliminated my eyes AMD. I still do eye exercises and take nutrients and I'm spot free in my vision. Floaters yes but AMD no.👈👍 Determination and persistence pays off. ✌️🇺🇲👍
