    Tarnished Vision.

    Davenport RJ.

    Too much iron wrinkles vision, according to new work. Mice that lack two
    iron-oxidizing enzymes show signs of age-related macular degeneration, the most
    common cause of vision loss in elderly people. The study suggests that drugs
    that reduce iron amounts might prevent or slow the disease.

  2. Drugs are never good long term solutions. Drugs that would reduce iron
    amounts would most certainly produce undesirable side effects

    The effect of too much iron is simply to increase oxidative stress. Macular
    degenaration is not necessary present only with an iron metabolism problem.
    Many other causes of oxydative stress can contribute as well.

    Antioxidants are the best solution against macular degeneration. Usana has
    very good antioxidant rich products. The product Visionex is designed to
    maintain long-term eye health. Use this link for information:
