Among the several eye diseases that the elderly are prone to suffer from, in addition to cataract and glaucoma, macular degeneration is also a serious vision-threatening blinding disease

Macular degeneration is divided into two types: dry and wet.

Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration, is age-related, and the prevalence increases with age

In daily life, smoking, eating habits with high cholesterol, long-term exposure to strong ultraviolet rays in the eyes, suffering from vascular system diseases, high blood pressure, and family members who have suffered from this disease can cause macular degeneration

Guo Yishi said that macular degeneration cannot be removed by surgery.

How to prevent macular degeneration through a reasonable diet and living habits? Guo Yishi made the following suggestions:

Because the occurrence of age-related macular degeneration may be related to genetics, if someone in the family suffers from age-related macular degeneration, family members over the age of 50 should have regular fundus examinations
