Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is a vision problem that produces symptoms that include straight lines that appear wavy or distorted, formation of drusen, a dark spot or area at the center of your vision, and changes in color perception. Macular degeneration is a disease of the macula in the retina. A drusen is a yellow or white deposits found in a retina layer.

It's called temporal anopia. If both your eyes are effected (bitemporal anopia), it could be because of the damage at the area where the optic nerves cross. Please refer to a doctor ASAP. This may be a sign of pituitary adenoma or hydrocephalus (increased fluid around the brain).

visual analogue scale was created by French rheumatologists. It was designed to measure any impact that is caused by rheumatoid arthritis affecting the hand.

Degeneration of the axon and myelin sheath distal to the injury site caused by the lack of nutrients.

Any illness that may lead to vision impairment necessitates the need for long-term care. Even people suffering from glaucoma which may lead to blindness may claim benefits for ltc, technically, once you are blind, you can no longer perform all of the activities of daily living on your own. Benefits trigger of long-term care insurance usually start as soon as you need assistance performing ADLs, then you can claim for benefits. It is always important to check the benefits trigger of your policy before making a claim

what can you do to have a white seclera or clear the redness from your eye to make it look whiter

My eyes are 20/400 & 20-500 but together I see 20-60 and I am not considered legally blind. I know that not only in WV but when you file your income tax in the U.S.A., you can be "tax deductable" if legally blind, but this is only if your visionis like 20-200 with corrected lenses. Same goes with a drivers license in the states. Hope that helps give ya a better idea. ~ Catron5 ~ So the is 22.

It does

Generally, most of fish oils contains lots of Vitamin A which helps to increase your eyesigh

In some cases, this is an allergic reaction. In other cases, this puffiness is a reaction by the body to seasonal allergies or airborne irritants. To combat it, try several home remedies. One such remedy is the used tea bag trick. After you have had your cup of tea, refrigerate the bag. Use two damp, cold teabags as compresses for your eyes. Leave on 10 minutes, then rinse eyes. The slight moisture in the old tea bags will help rinse allergens out of the eyes, and the tannin in the tea will relieve the tiredness in your eyes. Cucumber slices work in the same way. Very nice with a facial mask. The last is rather drastic...but it works. Go to the health food store and buy a noni pot. This is a nasal irrigation pot, and it is for literally rinsing your sinuses. Simular to being dunked in the ocean, it will rinse out the mess from your sinuses. Follow the manufacturer's directions, using only uniodized salt to make the saline solution. Another tip...never make the water more than room temperature. Yes, this is drastic...but over the space of three days, my bags went down measureably. I could breathe better too. This method was mentioned on the Oprah show by Dr. Frank Oz.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD) is by far the most common type of MD.

It is a common misconception that 20/20 is perfect vision. In reality, having 20/20 visions means that you can see from 20 feet what a normal person can see from 20 feet. 20/15 vision means you can see from 20 feet what a normal person can see from 15 feet.

Perfect vision means that your eyes perform the following processes perfectly:

1. Refraction of light

2. Accommodation of the lens

3. Constriction/dilation of the pupil

4. Convergence of the eye

There is no TV developed for people suffering from Macular Degeneration, but as I found with my grandfather who suffers from macular degeneration that HDTVs tend to be the clearest for them. Also the larger the TV the better they will be able to see the picture.

My mother finds that sub-titles are essential because she often can't follow the action and can't recognise who is coming in and out of the scene - at least sub-titles give her an idea of what's happening, and they are in the peripheral vision area. (For people who are nearly blind, the audio commentary option is also very useful.)

My mother also has a HUGE remote control, because she can't see the numbers on the remote controls that come with the TVs!

A stuck wier door. That's the the flapper in the skimmer. Or in inground pools you will see twooutlets in the bottom of the skimmer, sometimes one of these outlets are not hooked up to a pipe,so a plug is put in there.If you took out that plug with no line hooked up,water will just dump into the ground.

There is no evidence that electronic cigarettes cause any form of health problems; this is a general statement however. Peanuts are not a problem, for those that are not allergic to them.

A macular hole is condition in the eye where the macular which is located in the retina has a small break. One can get information on macular hole surgery on websites such as All About Vision, Cleveland Clinic, and VisionAware.

No surgical treatment exists for striatonigral degeneration, and pharmacological treatment is not effective in the long term.

It means that the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain have degenerated, they aren't working as well or have been damaged. The frontal lobe is in the front of the brain and the temperal lobes are on the sides of the brain.
