老年人的眼睛黄斑病是不可治愈的慢性病。随着年龄的增长，人的视网膜会增大病变的风险。因此早期的预防和参与就显得极为的重要。

随着年龄的增长，人的视网膜会增大病变的风险。50岁以上的老年人中，每7人就会有一人有这个视网膜黄斑病变的危险，症状表现为为视力模糊等，严重影响日常生活，例如因视力不佳产生的失去平衡而摔倒，或导致抑郁等等，危害远远超过简单的视力不好。严重者会导致彻底的失明。

 

9月8日11.15am -12.45pm, Epsom Community Centre社区和将举办有关中老年人黄斑病的免费讲座，届时将现场提供设施进行测试，给出检测结果和讲解预防的方法，包括饮食等等。机会非常难得。为了自己和家人的健康，鼓励大家积极参加，并加以宣传。

祝大家身体健康，用一双明亮清澈的眼睛去享受这个世界。

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a chronic eye condition that cannot be cured, but early detection and prevention can help slow its progression. As we age, the risk of retinal and macular disease increases significantly. In fact, approximately 1 in 7 people over the age of 50 is at risk of developing AMD.

 

Symptoms such as blurred or distorted vision can greatly affect daily life. Beyond impacting eyesight, vision loss can increase the risk of falls, reduce independence, contribute to social isolation, and even lead to depression. In severe cases, AMD may result in permanent blindness.
