In the St. Louis Today Newspaper, there was a featured article by Phillip O’Connor on the “Army sees the light on eyeglasses”. I find it very interesting that the Army has now decided that the heavy S9 glasses should be phased out. And will be introducing the new 5As lighter and thinner frame. What a change for the recruits, especially since the larger, heavier frame is back in style. Once again the Army is not in with fashion!!!

The American Optometric Association reports “Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe vision loss in adults over age 50. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 1.8 million people have AMD and another 7.3 million are at substantial risk for vision loss from AMD. Caucasians are at higher risk for developing AMD than other races. Women also develop AMD at an earlier age than men. This eye disease occurs when there are changes to the macula, a small portion of the retina that is located on the inside back layer of the eye. AMD is a loss of central vision that can occur in two forms: “dry” or atrophic and “wet” or exudative.”

Some common symptoms are: a gradual loss of ability to see objects clearly, distorted vision, a gradual loss of color vision, and a dark or empty area appearing in the center of vision. If you experience any of these, contact your our office immediately for a comprehensive examination. Central vision that is lost to macular degeneration cannot be restored. However, low vision devices, such as telescopic and microscopic lenses, can be prescribed to maximize existing vision.
Researchers have linked eye-friendly nutrients such as lutein/zeaxanthin, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc to reducing the risk of macular degeneration.
If you have any questions about Macular Degeneration please contact our office at 505-884-8722.
