Macular Degeneration

As one ages, it’s of necessity one keep up with regular medical checkup, especially with the eyes. What we intend to discuss in this post could be maintained if detected early, but if discovered late, there could be no remedy. It could lead to blindness.

The Eye

A simple way to understand how the eyes works is thus: light rays from an objects hits the cornea (the window of the eyes), it’s been refracted to go through the lens which focuses it to the retina where it’s converted into electrical pulses and sent to the brain. The light of cause passes through the vitreous which is the gel substance that makes the eyes stay its shape, down to the back of the eyes where the retina is found.

If one observe the back of the eyes from the figure above, one would discover a part of the eye close to the center of the retina oval in shape called the macular. The macular is responsible for the central, high resolution, color vision just to mention a few. If this is damaged, ones vision could be impaired.

One common damage to the macular is called Macular degeneration. One cannot fully explains how it comes but it’s peculiar to adult round the ages of 50s or 60s.  This ailment causes loss in the center field of vision. Statistically, Nigeria handles 100,000 cases of this disease every year. The common symptoms is blurred vision or a straight line appears distorted to the victim. If one notices such symptoms, it advisable they visit an optician, because treatment would help, but one is not sure of a cure. One could decide on a surgical approach, but as a TCM publisher, i’ll prefer the AREDS formula. AREDS is an acronym for Age Related, Eye, Disease Study. They came up with a supplement called AREDS formula. It is a special combination of vitamins and minerals to help reduce the progression of the disease. It contains vitamin C, vitamin E, copper, zinc, beta-carotene and the rest of them.

If with good nutrition, one can reduce the progression of the disease, I believe taking good nutrition early could prevent one from suffering in future. Get a good supplement for yourself today, could be expensive but it’s going to be way better compared to one choosing to wait for it. I always choose preventative measures to curative measures.
