Today the disease in people eyes develop very often. And more than any other risk to those who smoke, have problems with high blood pressure, malnourished and neglected sunglasses.
Many, for example, the familiar-related macular degeneration (also called macular degeneration) - one of the most serious ocular diseases and a major cause of irreversible blindness.
The risk for this disease are the elderly and patients with heart disease and blood vessels. And yet... blue-eyed blonde, regardless of age, as shown by recent studies. Why are they then? Let's understand, based on medical statistics.
Macular degeneration: what it is?
Just imagine: you have in the bathroom (or kitchen - as you wish) rovnenko - plitochki to plitochki - laid tiles. Suddenly, before the eyes of a clear line of tile joints start to dance, oddly bent, forming stains matted "tangles" and "splash." Then there is a murky spot, disturbing look at the world. And it does not disappear anywhere, even if you wear glasses or lenses... It manifests itself as a disease - macular degeneration.
What are the symptoms?
Keep in mind that is not always so clearly manifested, as described above. Dangerous disease starts with little or no symptoms. When the disease struck only one eye, and it at a later stage it is difficult to notice. It is difficult, but possible. Recalls the first lady, causing makeup. And hunters. And all because of that, and so, and others have to cover only one eye, took aim. It was then, and there are those "dancing" lines, swirling spots and their ilk.
The therapeutic window is a chance to preserve vision
Macular degeneration, the eye disease is characterized by lesions of the retina center, responsible for the visual images. This disease 2 forms: wet and dry, in which abnormally growing blood vessels. The wet form is extremely aggressive and its therapeutic window (the period in which it is too late to be treated) is only a few months. If you miss this window, the patient will inevitably face the decline of view and, as a consequence, total blindness.
In such a situation it is difficult to overestimate the timeliness of diagnosis. So unforgivable mistake - to pass examinations by an ophthalmologist. And this should be done regularly, at least once every six months. If, however, there were warning signs on view, a doctor must be contacted immediately.
