macular degeneration


DESCRIPTION

This disorder causes a progressive visual loss due to degeneration of the macula, the portion of the retina responsible for fine vision. It is basically caused by hardening of the arteries that nourish the retina, depriving the tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Macular degeneration is the leading cause of severe visual loss in the United States and Europe in people over 55 years old. This loss of vision may appear suddenly or it may progress slowly. Usually peripheral and color vision are unaffected.



There are two types of macular degeneration: atrophic (or "dry"), which is the more common type (90 percent of the cases) and exudative ("wet"). In the latter type, the degeneration of the macula is accompanied hemorrhaging or leaking of fluid from a network of tiny blood vessels that develop under the center of the retina. This results in scarring and loss of vision. In both cases, because the macula alone is affected, central vision is lost but total blindness is avoided. some side vision is usually retained.

wet macular degeneration


Macular degeneration is probably the result of free radical damage similar to the type of damage that induces cataracts. Factors that predispose a person to developing macular degeneration include aging, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and environmental toxins. Heredity may play a role as well.

HERBS

  • Clinical studies have shown that taking bilberry extract (160 mg and up daily) and eating fresh blueberries (8 to 10 ounces per day), plus taking ginkgo biloba extract and zinc, can help halt the loss of vision. Blueberries are rich in valuable flavonoids. Treatment at an early stage is most effective.

    DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Increase your consumption of green leafy vegetables, especially collard greens, kale, mustard greens, spinach, and turnip greens. Eat legumes; yellow vegetables; flavonoid-rich berries such as blueberries, blackberries, and cherries; and foods rich in vitamins E and C, such as raw fruits and vegetables.


  • Avoid alcohol, cigarette smoke, all sugars, saturated fats, and foods containing fats and oils that have been subjected to heat and/or exposed to the air, such as fried foods, hamburgers, luncheon meats, and roasted nuts.


  • Broccoli contains sulforaphane, which may help prevent macular degeneration, according to Peter Gehlbach, assistant professor of ophthalmology at John Hopkins University School of Medicine. Some health care providers recommend as many as 5 servings of broccoli a day, along with the green vegetables listed above.


  • Reduce dietary fat to less than 24 grams per day and trans-fat to less than 1/2 gram per day. Eat more nuts and fish (to increase omega-3s) and less animal fat in general.





  • CONSIDERATIONS

  • In a study reported in the Archives of Ophthalmology, ophthalmologists at Louisiana State University Medical School tested the effects of supplemental zinc on people suffering from macular degeneration. Half the group received a 100 mg tablet of zinc twice a day; the other half received a placebo. After 12 to 24 months, the zinc group showed significantly less deterioration than the placebo group.


  • Antioxidant nutrients are known to protect against macular degeneration, but two in particular - lutein and zeaxanthin - are believed to play a critical role in the prevention of the disease. A study by Johanna M. Seddon, M.D., of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston, compared the diets of 356 patients with macular degeneration with 520 patients with other eye diseases. The data revealed that beta-carotene was not especially effective, but that lutein and zeaxanthin were. Some foods that contain lutein and zeaxanthin are collard greens, kale, mustard greens, and turnip greens.


  • The FDA has approved a new drug, pegaptanib sodium (Macugen). This drug is particularly suited for treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration. The drug must be administered by injection. Macugen was co-developed by Eyetech Pharmaceuticals and Pfizer, Inc., and will be co-marketed by both companies in the United States.


  • Coenzyme Q-10 improves retinal function in patients with age-related macular degeneration, according to Dr. Janos Feher, a researcher at the University of Rome, Italy. A small study, reported in the journal Ophthalmologist, compared a group getting a CoQ10 preparation to a control group getting vitamin E alone. The subjects who received the CoQ10 mixture showed slight improvement or no degeneration over 2 years, while the control group continued to slowly decline.
