We have been fortunate in this past century that we have made breakthroughs in the care and treatment of glaucoma, the leading cause of blindness of all ages. In addition, we have seen a significant decrease in the number of cases of blindness from diabetes, the leading cause of blindness of working age Americans, age 21-55 years. We have witnessed, as Americans, how modern cataract surgery has changed in this century. People are living longer, enjoying rejuvenated eyesight and having more active lives than fifty years ago. In this new century, our challenge is to manage, treat, and hopefully, eradicate the disease of Age-Related Macular Degeneration, the leading cause of blindness after age 55 years.
We hope that we can answer some of your questions. In addition, we have made it possible for you to visit the National Library of Medicine for more information.
