Age-related Blindness

The blue light emitting from these digital devices can affect your eye's retina and lead to age-related macular degeneration, a study claims.

Researchers have found a group of proteins -- known to be the likely cause of Alzheimer's disease -- that get accumulated in the ageing retina causing damage to it and are also the key reason behind a vision loss condition among individuals aged 50 and older.

Scientists have developed an efficient way to make 3D 'mini retinas', which mimic the organ's tissue organisation, from mouse or human stem cells.

Heavy smoking, poor diet and lack of exercise can put you at increased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), especially if you have a family history of the blinding eye disorder, says a new study.

Scientists, including one of Indian-origin, have created the most detailed map to date of a region of the human eye long associated with blinding diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration.

Older adults who eat oily fish at least once a week have a lower risk of serious vision loss from age-related macular degeneration.

Age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in older adults, is greatly influenced by a person's genes.

Consumption of fats, especially those in processed baked goods, may promote the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that is the leading cause of blindness from age 65. Fat in nuts is the only type that appears to protect against disease progression.
