Sunglasses For Those With Macular Degeneration

You might think that sunglasses are simply protecting your eyes from ultraviolet rays and blue light, but there are actually several different uses for patients with macular degeneration.

Of course, the first and most important feature is that the lens provides 100% UV-A and UV-B light protection. Ultraviolet rays may damage eyelids, cornea, lens, retina. If "100% UV Protection" or "UV 400" is not displayed on the label, please do not purchase. Wraparound glasses and skin-friendly glasses prevent ultraviolet radiation from entering the side or top.

Normally, people regard darker lenses as better protection. However, it is not that good even if it is dark. In fact, visibility may be low, especially for people with macular degeneration. The darker the lens it is ugly. Reducing the light makes navigation and setting more difficult. You may need to try different dark shades to find out which dark colors do not affect your visibility.

Sensitivity to glare is a symptom of macular degeneration, especially when people are under bright sunlight. Even if a person is sitting in the shade, the sun may be reflected from water, roads, car hoods, etc. and may cause glare. Using a special filter, the polarizing lens helps to eliminate the glare reflected from these surfaces. Reducing glare means better clarity and visibility. Prescription sunglasses with polarizing lens are possible

Sunglasses with high quality lens are very important as macular degeneration also affects human sharpness and careful eyesight. The transparency is determined by the material of the lens. Through lens observation, the lens itself does not produce blurry images to confirm that there is no distortion. To improve the sharpness that you lost you need no bad lens, clear vision

AMD patients can distinguish contrast. However, depending on the color lens, the contrast is improved. People with macular degeneration such as orange and yellow lenses will improve contrast and improve depth perception. These colored lenses do not recommend using eyeglasses with a blue shading lens to increase color distortion. It is particularly difficult to distinguish the colors of traffic lights. Blue blocking lens reduces glare and avoids darkening the world - Brightness makes things more visible

To make the best use of your new sunglasses with optical transparency, reduction of glare and contrast enhancement, you need to try them. Interior lighting is very different and can not be compared with sunny days. For details of sunglasses and macular degeneration, please see the following URL.

'What is macular degeneration? There are two main types - wet macular degeneration and dry macular degeneration. According to reports, most cases in the world are cases of dry macular degeneration, and all cases of dry macular degeneration are only wet macular degeneration. Macular degeneration occurs mainly in people over the age of 50 and is normally diagnosed at the stage of progression. Macular degeneration has a performance in three major stages. They are early AMD (age-related macular degeneration), intermediate AMD and progressive AMD. In the early stage, diagnosis of macular degeneration is very difficult because there are no obvious symptoms other than the yellow deposits beneath the retina. This is the reason why we have to conduct eye checks on a regular basis. There is no obvious symptom at the intermediate stage. The only way to detect macular degeneration at this stage is by eye examination.

Age-related macular degeneration is one of the most important causes of blindness in the elderly. As the population ages, the number of people affected will increase2. There are two age-related macular degeneration. Geographical atrophy is a severely segmented pigmented area caused by atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium and neovascular degeneration occurs when new blood vessels grow under the retinal pigment epithelium and results in bleeding and scar formation . Age-related macular degeneration is diagnosed in people over the age of 50 years, if there is no other obvious cause of degeneration.
