Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an irreversible condition that affects a person’s central vision
It takes away people’s ability to drive and other common daily activities.
Treatment for late, neovascular AMD is invasive and expensive, and there is no treatment for geographic atrophy, the other form of late AMD that also causes vision loss.
Therefore, it is very important to catch this condition early and prevent the development of late AMD.
A recent study found that people who ate a diet high in red and processed meat, fried food, refined grains, and high-fat dairy were three times more likely to develop an eye condition that damages the retina and affects a person’s central vision.
