Human eyesight is one of the world s most exquisite and sophisticated feats of engineering.
The process by which we see is so complex that even the most talented scientists don t understand it completely. As we grow older, the parts involved in this process break down and wear out, making our eyes vulnerable to a host of serious, debilitating diseases, including macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma, which can cruelly rob us of this gift. Smoking Age Researchers tell us that there is now a way to stop these parts from wearing out and breaking down and to keep your eyes strong and healthy for a hundred years or more. Until recently this had been just a pipe dream. Right now, more than 13 million Americans suffer from age-related macular degeneration.
