What You Can Do to Prevent Age-Related Macular Degeneration

February 23, 2016 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 2 Comments

Your eyesight isn’t something you want to take for granted. As we grow older, we face the possibility of being diagnosed with Age-Related Macular Degeneration, which is a leading cause of vision loss in people 50 and older. February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Awareness Month and Bausch + Lomb partnered with Prevent Blindness® to help others preserve their sight.

My mother began developing the disease in her eighties, so now it’s always on my mind.

Fortunately, there are steps that you can take that may reduce your risk of being diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration like eating well and staying active.

How to Reduce Your Risk of AMD:

  • Avoid smoking
  • Eat a healthy diet that includes green leafy vegetables and fish
  • Exercise regularly
  • Maintain normal blood pressure and cholesterol

Often, people with early AMD do not experience any symptoms, so it’s important to get a dilated eye exam every year.
