One day while driving down the road, Arlyn noticed something odd about the way the telephone poles looked when he passed by. Whenever he looked at something with vertical lines, the lines had a wave to them. “I would tell my wife as I drove down the road that the telephone poles looked like they were pregnant,” Arlyn said. He knew that there was a problem. He scheduled an eye doctor appointment to find out what was happening to his vision.

What the Doctor Said

“When I saw my eye doctor to see what was going on, she said that it was the start of Macular Degeneration, something I recall that my mother had.” According to the  National Eye Institute, age-related eye health issues affects more than 11 million individuals in the United States.

What Do Age-Related Eye Health Issues Do?

Age-related eye health issues destroy central vision and are the leading cause of vision loss in adults over the age of 55. Age-related eye health issues can run in families and are more prevalent in people with light skin and eyes. While there is currently no cure for age-related eye health issues and the effects are irreversible, there are ways to reduce the risk factors implicated.

The Doctor Recommends...

Arlyn’s doctor recommended he find an eye vitamin with 10 mgs of zeaxanthin (zee-uh-zan-thin) and 10 mgs of lutein, two critical antioxidants for lasting eye health. Studies show that zeaxanthin can increase low macular pigment levels – a leading risk factor for age-related eye health issues. The carotenoids zeaxanthin and lutein are found in the macular pigment located in the retina. This pigment functions like “internal sunglasses” to protect the sensitive cells in the retina responsible for clear vision and provide visual performance benefits.

“About three months ago, I noticed the telephone poles were looking less pregnant,” Arlyn said. “I was also noticing that the lines on the Amsler Grid Chart (eye chart) I view daily were looking straighter.”

Arlyn's vision continues to improve, and he's thrilled by this discovery.

“At last month’s eye doctor appointment, I was amazed at how many more of the eye chart letters I could see,” Arlyn said. “I was even able to see a couple of those on the 20-20 chart.”
