To Reduce the risk of ARMD - Age Related Macular Degeneration By VITAMIN Suppliements

ARMD is a major cause of blindness among individuals with European ancestry and accounts for more than 50% of all blinding conditions.

The Eye Disease Prevalence Research Group estimates that 1.2 million U.S. residents are living with neovascular ARMD and 970,000 have geographic atrophy; these numbers expected to rise 50% by the year 2024.

There are three major purported risk factors for ARMD: age, positive family history and smoking. In fact, smoking is the only consistently proven risk factor for ARMD. As with other age-related diseases, the free radical theory of aging has been proposed as an underlying cause of ARMD. This theory proposes that oxidative stress occurs in the retina because levels of reactive oxidative intermediates (ROIs) increase to a level that exceeds the detoxifying capacity of antioxidants.

The researchers evaluated the protective effects ofzincand/or a formulation that consisted of nutrients with antioxidant properties,including vitamin C,vitamin E and beta-carotene. The researchers concluded that a combination of these antioxidants with zinc led to anoverall25% risk reduction in disease progressionin individuals who had a moderate risk of ARMD development. The overall risk of moderate vision loss was reduced by19% at five years

Using the latest technologies and methods to restore vision in the blinds   The bionic eye devices to restore a sense of vision to people with   retinitis pigmentosa and age related maccular degeneration. The bionic eye consist of a spectacle with centralised camera, external processor and a implant with a microchip and stimulating electrodes surgically placed in the back of the eye ball. The bionic vision system consists of a camera, attached to a pair of glasses,which transmits high-frequency radio signals to a microchip implanted in the eye. Electrodes on the implanted chip convert these signals into electrical impulses to stimulate cells in the retina that connect to the optic nerve. These impulses are then passed down along the optic nerve to the vision processing center of the brain.                                                   ...
