Maybe you have tried before, maybe you are doubting whether to try again….maybe this will give you another incentive to try again!
Giving up smoking is not only good for your health, but it could be good for your eyes too.
People who smoke, or have smoked a large number of cigarettes over time, are more likely to develop age-related macular degeneration or to have it worsen sooner, according to a long-term study (Reuters Health).
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye disease that results in damage to the central part of the retina and is a leading cause of blindness among adults over the age of 50.
“Studies have shown that smoking may increase the chance of macular degeneration worsening, which in turn, can increase the chance of losing central vision,” Dr Neil Bressler told Reuters Health. http://reut.rs/1ZasCnJ
