YOUR EYES – YOUR WINDOWS TO THE OUTER WORLD

Whereas all the parts of the body are important for the smooth running, eyes have some special significance; they are our windows to the outer world.
As it is, with age, the correction system of the body weakens and replacements of cells are coming hard, this slows or impairs the smooth working of the system.
Sight is our most important sense of life of feeling the life, if you ask a person randomly what is most fear of losing is, he shall reply losing of vision rather than losing hearing or walking.
The same way, certain eyes diseases are typical of appearing with the advanced age of the person.
Loss of central vision which is result of age related muscular degeneration is one of them.
This process starts after 50 years of life, the reason being the hardening of arteries that nourishes the retina, depriving the retina of oxygen and nutrients which are necessary for the smooth functioning of eyes.
However, though the central vision may be lost completely or partially, the driving or reading becomes impossible or a difficult task, but the peripheral vision is not affected, that is the relief.
There are two types of muscular degeneration, one is wet muscular degeneration is the second is dry muscular degeneration. The wet condition is very few in number, only approx 10 %.
The wet muscular degeneration is the condition where new vessels are formed to supply blood to retina but since they are very delicate, they break easily and bleeding causes damage to other tissues. The loss of central vision is also sudden.
The dry muscular degeneration is most common, its impact is not severe and the loss is also gradual.
Although there is no proven medical therapy for dry muscular deneration, the wet type can be cured by laser technology, unfortunately the lost vision can not be gained but further loss can be prevented.
There are some common tips to avoid this problem, take multi – vitamins with antioxidants, quit smoking, exercise regularly, use dark glasses, use dark green vegetables in your diet and consult your doctors for any abnormal things which come to notice like straight lines like door way appear wavy or distorted .
