Twice As Many Americans Treated For Retinal Disease Over 10 Years

An analysis of Medicare records over a period stretching from 1997 to 2007 showed that within the decade the number of older Americans receiving treatments for retinal diseases doubled.  The treatments were for retinal conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy.

This study specifically focused on the sort of treatment that patients received.

Natural Eye Care

NaturalEyeCare™ started in 1999 to help the public and professionals learn about complementary care in eye disease treatment.

The information and recommendations we offer are based on over 30 years of peer review research and personal clinical experience which guides us in providing a valuable resource to our readers, customers and patients regarding maintaining healthy vision naturally.

We believe that vision health is intimately connected to overall mental, physical and spiritual health. Therefore we encourage people to look at their overall lifestyle and diet as part of keeping healthy vision and reducing the risk of eye disease onset. This includes diet, regular exercise, and management of daily stress. If one has health issues such as high blood pressure, a thyroid imbalance, any autoimmune disease and/or are on medication(s), these possible contributions to eye disease should considered when working with your health care professional.

Please do not hesitate to call us at 845.475.4158 with any questions and concerns.
