1.Stop Smoking
Protecting your vision is another reason to quit. Smoking raises your odds of getting macular degeneration. It also speeds eye damage once you have the disease. If it’s hard for you to break the habit, get help from a stop-smoking program or ask your doctor for advice.
2.Shield Your Eyes
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun may raise your chance of getting macular degeneration. Sunglasses can help. Look for ones labeled UV 400 that cover the sides of your eyes. Wear them whenever you go outside or find yourself in bright sunlight.
