Foundation Fighting Blindness: Slow Down Age Related Macular Degeneration


Age-related Macular Degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in people over 55. But with treatment it can be slowed down, stopped, and in some cases reversed. That is a big deal. If there is any way at all, that is safe of course, to help prevent blindness, isn't it definitely worth looking into? I think definitely, yes!

Blindness played in a role in my childhood, with my grandfather having sight in only one eye during his latter years. It affected so many things, but he was a real champ about it, and honestly if he complained, I never heard him. I know he missed being able to see us grow like he had been able to before. With limited or diminished vision so many things are affected. Make sure you see your grandchildren grow! Protect your vision by requesting information about diagnosing and treating AMD.

  7. I just got glasses. I'm still not used to them. It makes me wonder if they got my prescription wrong or something. I try, and wear them often to get used to them though.

  12. We only get teo eyes in life, it is important to look after them! I currently wear contact lenses but I worry the constant touching of my eyes and not allowing oxygen into the retina can affect my eyesight long term! Thankyou for this informative post x

  13. I had a student in one of my classes recently that is blind. He used all sorts of accomodations to help him overcome this and was doing well, but then he had a stroke. Hoping that he will be able to return once he gets well.

  22. Definitely good to know that they have developed treatment of such a thing. I wonder what it's going to be like once the first full generation has come and gone where they are staring at computers all day or their cell phones. How much more pronounced the degeneration will occur.

  23. Wow, it's good to know that there's a foundation that helps prevent AMD. I hope that this campaign can be available worldwide. Especially, those countries who can't afford medications.
