Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in adults 65 years or older. It affects more than 10 million people in North America and an equal number in Western Europe. AMD is a painless degenerative disease of the macula—the densely packed cells that enable you to see color and fine details. When cells of the macula break down, central vision is impaired. There are few effective treatments for the disease, but diet and lifestyle changes may help reduce risk or slow progression of AMD and cataracts. Two carotenoids (plant pigments)—Lutein and Zeaxanthin—are the only antioxidants specifically transported into the macula and concentrated in this part of the eye. Research suggests that lutein and zeaxanthin may protect against AMD. Lutein with Zeaxanthin from Webber naturals is a supplement to support eye health in people and prevent cataracts and age related macular degeneration.
