Prevention for Macular Degeneration

 A few simple precautions can help prevent the development or progression of macular degeneration. Some of these are:

• Regular eye examinations can help identify macular degeneration at an early stage. Your doctor will advise you on the frequency of these examinations.
• People with other diseases like hypertension or cardiovascular disease should manage their diseases effectively by following their doctor’s advice and taking their medications regularly.
• Stopping smoking greatly reduces the risk of developing macular degeneration.
• Reducing your weight to a healthy level can also help lower the risk of developing macular degeneration.
• Including lots of fruits, nuts, fish and vegetables in your diet can also help reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration.
