Who is at risk
Although AMD may occur at middle age, it most often affects the ageing population, and is a leading cause of vision loss in people 60 years of age and older. Other individuals at increased risk include:
- Smokers
- Those with circulatory conditions, including high blood pressure
- The overweight and obese
- Those suffering from a poor diet - especially one that is deficient in carotenoid rich vegetables such as spinach, peas, tomatoes and curly kale.
