ARMD - is the result of progressive and often painless damage to the retina.
The problem starts with damage or breakdown of the macula - the part of the
retina responsible for central vision. If you smoke, you're about four times
more likely to develop ARMD and can expect it to happen up to 10 years
earlier.
SIGHT TIPS:
Besides giving up smoking, diet and UV protection also offer some preventive
help, especially if good habits adopted in early life. The dietary indications
are similar to those for cardiovascular health.
Eat less saturated fats and plenty of vegetables - particularly brightly coloured
vegetables, fruits, nuts and fish.
