Fight Macular Degeneration With VisiVite
Technology – And VisiVite – Make Life Easier
For Those With Macular Degeneration
With vision loss caused by macular degeneration and other conditions becoming more and more prominent with each passing year, technology – not just medicine and nutrition – has been searching for a solution. Because macular degeneration can only be slowed, not reversed, many technological breakthroughs in the field center on making the act of coping with vision loss easier.
While the supplements we provide at VisiVite are a nutritional method for living with the disease, the New York Times recently ran a story on another, more technological way to cope with AMD – handheld video devices that magnify the fine print on everything from airplane tickets to soup cans.
Just like televisions and music players, the technology required to produce high quality magnification has gotten smaller over the years. Now although these gadgets still cost quite a bit (don't expect to find one less than $700), they're more versatile, smaller, and lighter than a magnifying glass that provides comparable magnifying power. Another benefit of these devices is their ability to enhance black-and-white contrast, which is something a traditional magnifying glass can't do.
Scientists in Boston are working on a different solution. They are developing a way to improve the contrast in television broadcasts in a range of frequencies that AMD sufferers have difficulty seeing. Hardware incorporating this technology is in development right now.
While these breakthroughs make living with AMD easier, they will not do anything to stop the spread of the disease. For prevention of macular degeneration, you can still turn to VisiVite. Our Premier Ocular Formula No. 2 is based on the projected results of the ongoing AREDS 2 study and contains Lutein and Zeaxanthin – which may have the ability to improve vision.
In addition to the selection of AREDS eye vitamins, VisiVite offers a selection of unique macular degeneration products designed to slow the progress of AMD. Our vitamin supplements promote ocular health with antioxidants and Omega-3 fatty acids, and can slow the progress of your age-related macular degeneration.
