Prevention of Macular Degeneration

I am glad to see that there is so much going on nowadays for the study of Macular Degeneration. For a long time I thought that it should be one of those diseases that if enough studies are conducted on it, that we could wipe it out completely. To me, so much affects the body and it does not take a lot to keep it healthy. Unfortunately in our society though the fast culture does not lend itself to keeping the body healthy. If people could just slow down, eat better and get the right vitamins, perhaps we would see the end to a lot of diseases, including ones in the eyes.
