Eye Tech's Center for Macular Health
They say 40 is the new 30. Baby-Boomers will tell you 65 is the new 45. Experiencing all life has to offer with clear vision is paramount in our later years.
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a progressive disease associated with aging that gradually destroys central vision. The disease impairs one’s ability to perform common daily tasks such as reading, driving or watching television. Imagine not being able to appreciate the details of a loved one’s face! The sad fact is that this disease takes a heavy toll on individuals affected as well as their families as routine tasks such as paying bills, going to the grocery store, or even preparing meals requires assistance.
AMD is more common than Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and Breast Cancer combined. It affects one in five families and is the leading cause of blindness for those over 50 in North America and Europe. In fact, at age 60 the odds of developing AMD are one in ten, by age 75 the odds are one in four.
