Macular Degeneration - Eye Health!

Vision problems due to the onset of macular degeneration are quite prevalent, especially in the elderly. Macular degeneration occurs when the macula, located in the central portion of the retina in the eye, becomes weakened or damaged. The result is a loss of central vision. Central vision is used to read and drive, so it is crucial to save as much of a patient's vision as possible as soon as possible. Although this medical condition has no cure at this time, there are some promising new macular degeneration treatments that have shown to alleviate and slow down some of the symptoms of age-related macular degeneration.

There is a range of vision loss that can occur depending on the severity and type of age-related macular degeneration a patient has. Because it affects the macula located in the center of the retina, a patient's peripheral vision is usually not adversely affected by the condition. With the onset of the condition, a patient's vision might still be quite good, but the situation can worsen over time. There are two different types of age-related macular degeneration that often result in the greatest loss of central vision, and they are called wet and dry. The dry form of advanced macular degeneration is caused by the reduction of the rods and cones located in the retina, while wet advanced macular degeneration occurs due to leakage of excessive blood vessels and the resulting scarring under the macula.

One thing that retinal specialists might tell their patients with macular degeneration is to take certain vitamins as part of a spectrum of macular degeneration treatments. Patients in the initial onset stages of this condition sometimes benefit from taking vitamins C, E, zinc, lutein, zeaxanthin and eating foods that are high in beta-carotenes, such as dark green leafy vegetables, corn and peas.
