👀February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Awareness month. For the next week, we will be sharing The American Academy of Ophthalmology's 7 steps for better eye health and to reduce your risk of AMD. AMD is one of the leading causes of vision loss in people over the age of 50. 👁️
Step #1 - Get regular comprehensive eye exams
AMD often has no early warning signs, so getting regular comprehensive eye exams
is critical to diagnosing and treating the disease early. If you have no signs or risk
factors for eye disease, the Academy recommends a baseline screening at age 40,
then every one to two years after age 65.
