Macular degeneration is a common age-related condition. As you get older, the risk of developing AMD increases. At least one-third of adults over the age of 75 have some level of AMD. If one or both of your parents developed macular degeneration, then chances are you might develop the same condition when you hit the 60-year-old mark. However, remember that genes aren't everything and how you take care of yourself matters, too. In general, women and Caucasians are more at risk of developing macular degeneration. Smokers are at high risk of developing this eye condition. There have been several studies that have linked smoking to the deterioration of the macula. Cigarette smoke is linked with damage to the retina. If you're a smoker (especially if you're female or Caucasian), macular degeneration is something you need to be conscious of, even if the symptoms aren't present. Knowing your overall health can be a major factor for developing AMD. Those afflicted with conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes are at risk.  Even non-diabetics whose diet is comprised of carbohydrates high on the glycemic index tend to develop macular degeneration later on in life. Remember that one sign of wet macular degeneration is leaking of blood from the retinal vessels. This will worsen when you have clogged arteries due to plaque deposits. How frequently are you exposed to fluorescent lighting? There is concern that the UV radiation from fluorescent lighting may increase your risk of eye disease. In addition, if you live in an area in which your eyes are often exposed to sunlight, this may also increase your risk.
