Macular Degeneration New Year’s Focus
Macular degeneration: New Year is the time to focus on eye health! This year, 2009, is still young and now is the best time to prioritize caring for our vision and any macular degeneration eye issues.
The Discovery Eye Foundation is recommending Americans make eye care their 2009 New Year resolution.
In Australia, the Macular Degeneration Foundation has just launched a series of TV ads through the highly-viewed summer tennis coverage. Watch Roger Federer, Serena Williams and all your favorite tennis stars play matches leading up to the Australian Open, and you’ll be treated in the program breaks to a macular degeneration eye view of the world. A black blot appears in the centre of your vision and spreads across the picture. It’s a graphic lesson in what is happening to more and more of us. Not to mention an incentive to do something to save our sight before it’s too late!
The MD Foundation in Australia believes people’s awareness needs raising about this insidious disease, as "macular degeneration is silently stealing the sight of an ageing Australia".
There’s a huge increase in age-related MD in the US, the UK, Australia and around the world. It’s an epidemic with no effective medical treatment as yet.
But the good news is that only a small number of sufferers have reached the point of legal blindness. Most of us are in a position to implement preventative care, for ourselves and our relatives and loved ones. If symptoms of vision loss are creeping up on you, see to it now. There’s still time!
Nutritional treatment for macular degeneration is safe and substantially effective. Careful research has reinforced the position of complementary medicine (using supplements) for AMD. You can act now to prevent or improve symptoms.
We’re poised between New Year (January 1) and Chinese New Year (January 26) 2009. It’s a great place to take stock and start new strategies to look after ourselves and those we care about. This year in Chinese astrology will be the Year of the Ox: disciplined, patient, hard-working. A few of those qualities will yield priceless results when we apply them to our own eye health.
And a simple thing you can do may make the most difference. It’s easy to take one capsule a day of a supplement that will look after your vision.
Make it your ‘free from macular degeneration’ new year!
