Worried About Your Risk Of Developing Macular Degeneration?
If you are concerned about your risk of developing a disease caused macular degeneration, then you are probably not alone. Many people have a family member who has been diagnosed with the disease, and they worry they will also develop the disease. Unfortunately, there is an greater risk for developing the disease if you have a relative that has had it. Statistics show that you have a fifty percent chance of developing macular degeneration if a relative has had it, versus a twelve percent chance if no one in the family has been diagnosed with the disease. The best thing to do is see your eye doctor for exams at the intervals that he or she recommends.
