What is Macular Degeneration?

Macular degeneration is a disease that causes a loss of vision. It is more common in people that are 60 years of age and older. Macular degeneration causes a deterioration of your central vision.

Age-related macular degeneration is the most common reason for vision loss. It comes in two forms: wet and dry. "Dry" macular degeneration is the more common form.

Although the exact cause is unknown, we know that those who smoke and have high blood pressure are most affected by this form of macular degeneration. There are no good treatments for dry macular degeneration, but fortunately it often progresses very slowly. "Wet" macular degeneration occurs when abnormal blood vessels form under the retina.

The vessels eventually leak blood elements and damage the retina. In some instances, laser treatment can improve or slow the progress of wet macular degeneration. We also know that multivitamins can delay or in some cases prevent early wet macular degeneration from becoming "eye blinding" wet in some people.

Finally, we know that macular degeneration isn't as much of a genetic condition as it is one of lifestyle. Making the many lifestyle choices that keep your arteries young will reduce your chances of developing both forms of macular degeneration.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
