Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

A Healthy Outlook

If you are like most baby boom Canadians over age 50, you probably work hard, play hard, and do not plan to slow down or stop anytime soon. In fact, most likely you are planning ahead for a long, active and fulfilling retirement well in to your 70s and 80s. And why shouldn't you? You try to eat right, exercise and visit the doctor regularly. But are you looking after your eyes? Your eyes have special nutritional needs to help keep them healthy and ward off disease. One such disease, Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), is the leading cause of blindness in people over age 50.
