What is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)? Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) damages the center of the retina, which is called the macula. People with AMD have trouble reading fine print and seeing details, and may develop a blind spot in the center of their field of vision. There is no cure for Macular Degeneration, but treatment can slow progression of the disease. The AREDS study demonstrated that the daily intake of a combination of antioxidants and zinc reduced the risk of severe visual loss due to AMD by approximately 25%. AMD is part of a growing vision loss epidemic in the United States. Macular Degeneration affects 6 million Americans; another 13-15 million have pre-symptomatic signs. As the US population ages, more older people will become legally blind from Macular Degeneration than from Glaucoma and Diabetic Retinopathy combined. AMD is the leading cause of vision impairment among Americans 65+. The Research Behind Ojo's Formulation: AREDS 1 & 2 Studies Ojo's formulation is based on hundreds of medical and scientific studies.
