More people will lose some of their vision than lose hearing or have impaired cognitive function. Macular degeneration is the most common cause of impaired vision. Your macula is near the center of the retina. When fatty protein deposits (drusen) form on the back of the eye and influence the death of retinal cells resulting in deteriorating vision. When macular degeneration takes place after the age of 60 it is referred to as Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
Early Symptoms: blurred central vision and straight line (like doorframes) appear distorted.

Prevention: eat a balanced diet, lots of fruits and vegetables, olive oil, get the recommended amount of vitamin A, take a multi-vitamin.
