On Going Blind...

'An astonishing 33 million Americans will lose their sight this year due to cataracts and age related macular degeneration.' This is extremely unfortunate considering that most of the conditions which may cause blindness can actually be prevented. Sight it crucial to the way your make sense of your world. 'Even though you have five separate senses, 80% of the information you take in from the world is visual - so losing your eyesight is quite tragic!' However, you can follow a few simple and natural steps to prevent common but disabling eye conditions such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.You may already know that cataracts are due to a loss of elasticity in the lens of your eye, which particularly begins to creep up on you after the age of 50. Gradually, the lens (and your vision) becomes cloudy.

The specialized nerve cells in the macula begin dying off, causing everything in the center of your vision to become blurred.
