Large Study Suggests Vitamin B May Present Vision Loss in Elderly
The Associated Press is reporting that taking B vitamins can prevent a common type of vision loss in older women, according to the first rigorous study of its kind. It’s a slight redemption for vitamin supplements, which have suffered recent blows from research finding them powerless at preventing disease.
Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in people 65 and older, with nearly 2 million Americans in the advanced stage of the condition. It causes a layer of the eye to deteriorate, blurring the center of the field of vision and making it difficult to recognize faces, read and drive. There’s no cure, but treatment, including laser therapy in some cases, can slow it down.
Preventing it has been more elusive.
