How to Reduce Your Risk Of
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
(BPT) - Creating a tapestry of vivid
colors and patterns, Geri Wires, an avid
quilter, relies on her sight to create her art.
So, in 2007 after her dilated eye exam and
speaking with her eye doctor, she was alarmed
at the diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration
(AMD) at age 64. AMD is one
of the leading causes of vision loss among
people 50 and older and affects 16 million
Americans - more than glaucoma and cataracts
combined.
“After my diagnosis, the reality of AMD and
its potential effects on my vision became very
serious to me,” Wires said. To help manage
her condition, Wires began taking Bausch +
Lomb PreserVision® AREDS 2 Formula eye
vitamins twice daily at her doctor’s suggestion
as part of an action plan that includes a
healthy diet and regular exercise. PreserVision®
AREDS 2 formula eye vitamins contain the
nutrient formula recommended by National
Eye Institute (NEI) researchers to help reduce
the risk of progression in people with
moderate to advanced AMD.
AMD is a progressive eye condition caused
by degeneration of the part of the retina that
impacts central vision. Early-stage AMD
often does not present any symptoms or vision
changes, as symptoms usually appear
gradually over time. In its later stages, AMD
can lead to difficulty with daily activities like
driving, reading, or recognizing the faces of
loved ones, according to the NEI.

Vitamin Mix Can Help Reduce
Risk of AMD Progression
