Your eyesight isn’t something you want to take for granted. As we grow older, we face the possibility of being diagnosed with Age-Related Macular Degeneration, which is a leading cause of vision loss in people 50 and older. February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Awareness Month and Bausch + Lomb partnered with Prevent Blindness® to help others preserve their sight.

My mother began developing macular degeneration in her eighties, so now it’s always on my mind.
How to Reduce Your Risk of AMD:
- Avoid smoking
- Eat a healthy diet that includes green leafy vegetables and fish
- Exercise regularly
- Maintain normal blood pressure and cholesterol
Often, people with early AMD do not experience any symptoms, so it’s important to get a dilated eye exam every year.
