Many people will face in their lives to eye problems. Indeed, an estimated 10% of newborns have visual problems, most of which can be corrected without surgery. However, it is necessary to deal quickly because it leaves a slight squint move can lead to amblyopia. But as we all know, seniors are the first victims of eye problems. It is estimated that 60% of those over 60 are affected by visual impairment. One of the main causes of eye problems related macular degeneration is age: AMD. Cataract, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy are also common causes of vision problems related to age.
Going back to AMD, is the leading cause of blindness after age 50. It is a disease of the retina caused by a progressive degeneration of the macula, which is an area of the retina at the back of the eye, in line with the pupil. In its center is the area of maximum acuity of the eye, so when this part of the eye is affected by damage, partial blindness can be installed relatively quickly. Macular degeneration can be treated, but there are treatments to slow the progression of the disease, so it is important to diagnose in its earliest stage, that is to say, while n is still a maculopathy, which has no symptoms. The best solution for the maximum delay the effects of AMD is to regularly consult an ophthalmologist, who can prescribe appropriate treatment based antioxidants.
It's good to know that there are risk factors increase the likelihood of being affected by macular degeneration. Even if age is the leading known cause, and family history should be treated as another reason to regularly visit a department of ophthalmology, has been shown that smoking tended to increase the risk. Hypertension was also related to AMD, as well as sun exposure and overweight.
To diagnose AMD sounds to the earliest stage, the only alternative is to consult an ophthalmologist who regularly observe the back of the eye using an ophthalmoscope to look for possible changes in the macula, such as small tasks or signs of hyperpigmentation. Angiography is also an effective method for using medical imaging to study the blood vessels and possible anomalies.
As you can see, the best way to prevent premature blindness associated with AMD is to regularly consult a firm of Ophthalmology and have a healthy lifestyle which is also recommended to avoid a large number of other health problems, some as high blood pressure, increase the risk of one day being hit by a macular degeneration related to age. Please never make an appointment to get tested, especially if you have more than forty years, and especially if someone in your family has already contracted the disease.
