How to Prevent Age Related Eye Disease

If you get 40 years, we are vulnerable may be associated with visions for the development of certain diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Because they tell my patients to actively protect your eyes now! First, let me tell you, a bit of these two conditions.

A cataract is due to the assumptions that distort the vision. have more than 17% of Americans over 40 years, cataracts, and is a very common problem vision. They are due to aging, UV-radiation on the mouth and aerosols (eg, metered dose inhalers for asthma), steroid eye.

Cataracts are usually treated before conventional or laser surgery. However, Russian scientists have demonstrated considerable success in the reversal of cataracts with eye drops contain a powerful antioxidant, carnosine, N-acetylcysteine or NAC.


Otherwise, macular degeneration macular degeneration (AMD) may have a genetic eye disease and age for unclear reasons. But researchers believe that, the health, low in antioxidants, fatty diet and smoking contribute to disease. More than 1.6 million Americans suffer from macular degeneration, and it can mean a loss of vision.

Macula, a part of the retina, which offers a clear vision, damage the abnormal blood vessels, seeing the light sensitivity and the central reduced. There are two types, dry (mostly) and wet (less often, but the damage to vision.)

Interestingly, recent studies have shown a connection to the development of cataracts and macular degeneration. It seems obvious that, where if we could prevent or reverse cataract, of course you can reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration.

Prevention of cataracts, risk of developing AMD

At the same strategies to prevent the cataract patients and to reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration to allow.

Sight tests u2022Comprehensive% – what is needed to detect cataracts and macular degeneration and other eye diseases. Do you know your genetics. If one of the family of AMD, the risk was 2.5 times higher than the average.

Smoking% U2022No significant influence on the development of macular degeneration. Turn off the oxygen needed to the eye, and hardening of the arteries and causes shrinkage.

U2022Protect% in the full light eyes: Wear sunglasses to protect or a hat, the eyes from UV radiation.
% Eyes U2022Shield spray steroids: The use of steroids for asthma spray, make sure you are close or not, the eyes, if you placed to protect the inhaler in the mouth. Some of the bombs, and to travel to reach the eye. If you take oral steroids, the doctor expressed concern about possible cataract them. Here you can find alternative solutions.

% U2022Heart healthy diet: A healthy diet is a healthy heart, eyes and plaque formation may lead to heart disease and macular degeneration. Restriction of saturated fatty acids 20-25% of total calories.
% U2022Exercise: one for physical exercises, his heart to the eye. In addition, the use of much needed oxygen to your eyes. Try 30 minutes a day for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling.
U2022Antioxidants% vitamin C, beta carotene, zinc, resveratrol, selenium, vitamin E, it is difficult enough food for only this is a good antioxidant supplement can be sure of. Currently it is believed that antioxidants, the formation of plaque in blood vessels to prevent dangerous.

% U2022Omega-3: Studies show that Omega-3 fish oil can reduce krill and the risk of developing macular degeneration by 40%. Maintain a healthy and prevent or reduce inflammation or the arteries.
U2022Vitamin% Q: Recently, vitamin D is a superstar of the vitamins and detailed information about the benefits of the health of the eyes always obvious. Recent studies show that people with reduced high vitamin D levels by 40% incidence of macular degeneration.

% U2022Eye certain vitamins lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry. Lutein and zeaxanthin in vegetables such as cabbage, spinach, cabbage found. Cranberry is located in the blueberries and black berries. Or take a supplement that contains this specific vision. * Note: Lutein and zeaxanthin can influence the N-acetyl-carnosine. Repeated at the end of these courses NAC.

Acetyl-Carnosine U2022N% (NAC): This antioxidant is a form of droplets, the eyes twice a day. Visiting researchers and patients to confirm this antioxidant translate cataract surgery within 3-6 months. NAC can also be used to prevent cataracts.

Well, that’s it! How to tell a patient, even if its a vision problem might be for you today, can now take preventive measures greatly reduces the risk of developing cataracts and macular degeneration.

Antioxidants can, eat healthy, healthy lifestyle not to smoke, in addition to making vision and protection, vitamins and minerals to your daily routine to guarantee the health of the eye, enjoy the golden years! .
