May is Healthy Vision Month... Macular Degeneration is the #1 cause of blindness in adults over the age of 55 - with more cases reported in the state of Florida than anywhere else in the US. Those with greater risk factors of AMD include senior citizens, women, Caucasians and individuals with blue eyes, severe farsightedness or a genetic disposition. Risk factors that can be minimized include smoking, high blood pressure, exposure to ultraviolet light and obesity. Paying attention to overall physical health and a proper diet has been shown to be preventative but the only way to determine if you have MAC is through a dilated eye exam.
