Age-related macular degeneration is affecting more and more people with each day. It has, therefore, become imperative to spread the essential information about the eye disorder.

Age-related Macular Degeneration, abbreviated as AMD is a common eye disorder, mostly observed in aged people of 40 or more age. The macula is a central part of the retina in the human eye. The condition of AMD is developed when macula begins to deteriorate. This deterioration or eroding of macula happens mostly with aging and otherwise can be initiated due to some activities.

A person with this condition will only suffer central vision loss. The peripheral vision of the person would be intact. As per the statistics of various surveys, AMD is currently one of the leading cause of permanent vision loss in adults with age more than 60.

However, older peoples are not the only ones to suffer from macular degeneration. People who are addictive/chain smokers, diabetic patients, and the ones with poor diets or nutrient deficiencies also remain at risk of developing AMD. The most severe case of AMD can leave a person with impaired eyesight, and some of its symptoms include spotty vision, color changes, seeing ‘blank’ spots and difficulty reading.

Though there are laser therapies available for surgical deceleration and prevention of the condition, natural ways to prevent AMD are more significant.

Here are some of the natural ways to cure and decelerate the development of macular degeneration:
