But now, there is new hope for AMD sufferers from Macular Health!

"I believe Macular Health is the best product available to help reduce vision loss from macular degeneration. This is the first time in my career I've seen patients with better vision."
- Dr. John O. Mason, III

Dr. John O. Mason, III, a retina surgeon and macular degeneration specialist, recently released a report showing that Macular Health, a unique vitamin supplement, slows vision loss due to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and helps reduce the risk of total blindness.

Dr. Mason developed Macular Health for his AMD patients at the famed Callahan Eye Foundation Hospital at the University of Alabama Birmingham. Dr. Mason based the formula for Macular Health on the landmark National Eye Institute (NEI) study which showed that "high-dose antioxidant vitamins and minerals taken by mouth by people at risk of developing advanced AMD, reduced the risk of progression to advanced AMD by 25 percent and the risk of moderate vision loss by 19 percent.

"I wanted to let you know that I just left my doctors office for my annual check up and he was so amazed at how much my vision had improved after placing me on the Macular Health Premier Formula. I had to get my glasses changed because my vision had improved so much. All I can say is Thank you for this amazing product!"

The Macular Health formula differs from other similar products in that additional ingredients such as lutein and zeaxanthin have been included to enhance the effectiveness of the original formula utilized in the NEI study.

Macular Health's unique formula is now available with no prescription necessary. Unlike other similar products, the Macular Health formula only requires only one capsule a day. Those who have trouble swallowing pills can open the capsule and dissolve the ingredients into any liquid and ingest Macular Health in liquid form with no loss of effectiveness.

"My retina specialist has been pleased with the slow progression of the macular degeneration of my eyes. He told me on my last visit that he felt your Macular Health capsules had been very helpful for the health of my eyes."

What is macular degeneration?

Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in American adults. The condition, which is a breakdown of the macula of the eye, typically occurs during the aging process. Damage of the macula, caused by macular degeneration, increases the difficulty of seeing fine details clearly.

Macular degeneration can make activities such as reading and threading a needle impossible. The ability to see both near and far is hindered by macular degeneration because damage to the macula causes blurriness and distortion of vision. There is no cure for macular degeneration, but there is hope of slowing vision loss with proper nutrition.

"I wanted to write in to let you know that I have taken Macular Health for 1 year and didn't tell anyone I was doing so until I realized my eyes were improving. I can now watch TV without my glasses and the spot that I was seeing in my left eye is much smaller. I could also read more letters on the eye chart during my last eye exam and my doctor had to recheck my vision because he had thought there was a mistake made on my eye exam because my vision was so much better."

What are the most common types of macular degeneration?

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), the most common macular problem is age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The two most common types are dry AMD and wet AMD.

The AAO refers to dry AMD as "the aging and thinning of the tissues of the macula." Vision loss in dry AMD patients is gradual; therefore, few symptoms are noticeable before the advanced stage of dry AMD. Dry AMD accounts for 85 to 90 percent of all macular degeneration cases.

Wet AMD, according to the AAO, accounts for 10 - 15 percent of AMD cases. Patients with this condition suffer from abnormal blood vessel formation beneath the retina in the back of the eye. Wet AMD patients experience blurred central vision. Wet AMD experience rapid vision loss due to leaking of fluid or blood from newly formed blood vessels.

"I placed an order for a month supply and these vitamins had worked wonderfully for me. I had stopped driving recently but now I can drive again because my eyes have improved so much!"
-Ann B., Alabaster, AL

What are the risk factors for AMD?

  • Age - Adults 55 years and older are at the greatest risk of developing AMD.

  • Heredity - Family history of AMD increases the risk of developing the disease.

  • Obesity - Studies show a link between obesity and the progression of AMD.

  • Gender - Women are at greater risk of developing AMD than men.

  • Smoking - AMD is two to three times as frequent among tobacco smokers.

  • Sun - Excessive exposure to sunlight is a risk factor for AMD.

Tips for AMD sufferers

Though some risks of AMD are inevitable, making lifestyle changes may help prevent the development or progression of AMD.

  • Wear UV protective sunglasses

  • Eat a healthy diet including green leafy vegetables and fish

  • Exercise regularly

  • Maintain a healthy weight

  • Monitor blood pressure

Although nothing can prevent the onset of AMD, taking one capsule daily of the Macular Health vitamin supplement has been shown to reduce vision loss.

"I wanted to write you to let you know that I have been taking Macular Health for 3 months and I am seeing much, much better and I am so excited to be able to say that. I am 93 years old and I am placing my second order today and just wanted to let your company know how grateful I am for your product."
