How to prevent age-related macular degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration occurs when the retina becomes damaged, causing blurred vision or, in some cases, a complete loss of vision in the centre of your visual field.
Sharon Copeland, Optician at Feel Good Contacts said: “Regular sight tests will help to keep your eyes healthy; you should have a sight test every two years (or more often if recommended by your optician/GP).
“Certain health and lifestyle factors can contribute to your risk of developing AMD.”
This progressive condition can be prevented through a combination of easy lifestyle adjustments including:
- Wearing sunglasses while exposed to the sun
- Not smoking
- Keeping on top of eye appointments with your optician
- Regularly eating goji berries
