Study Confirms Fish, Olive Oil, Nuts Help Prevent Macular Degeneration

This may not seem like news to anyone in-the-know, but the new studies from two independent Australian research teams, which were published Monday, May 11 in the Archives of Ophthalmology and reported on CNN, provide "rigorous and well done" studies that support the findings of previous research teams.

"These studies are notable for that reason alone," comments Jean-Paul SanGiovanni, a scientist at the National Eye Institute in Bethesda, MD. Dr. SanGiovanni was a part of a team who first published findings that connected omega-3 fatty acids and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

"AMD is the top cause of blindness among people 65 and older living in the developed world."

This is amazing news for those who suffer from AMD, as well as those who are years away from age 65, but who wish to take as many measures as possible to prevent age-related blindness. If you have questions about eye disease, prevention or questions about your own eyesight, find a licensed, highly experienced Eye Surgeon in your area.
