EYE CARE

AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION (ARMD)

Age-related macular degeneration is Australia's leading cause of vision loss in persons over forty. The macula is the part of the retina responsible for your fine central vision, such as your reading vision.

In dry age-related macular degeneration, toxic waste products build up underneath the macula and cause retinal cell death that progresses over many years. This leads to slow, progressive central vision loss.

If you have dry age-related macular degeneration, you are at risk of developing wet age-related macular degeneration. The waste products cause abnormal blood vessel growth underneath the macula, which leak fluid and blood into the retina. This makes the macula wet causing rapid vision loss over days or months.

While there is no treatment for dry macular degeneration, this is an active research area, with several drugs showing promising results. The treatment for wet macular degeneration is regular injections.

To reduce your risk of permanent vision loss, if you develop sudden changes in your vision, you should see an eye specialist immediately. ca

Local artist Julia Carter

ART IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEART!

Yandina Art & Framing is expanding. We have big plans for 2022, including an extension to our busy shop. During the last 18 months we have been actively adding to our framing services with an art gallery and high-quality art supplies. In dealing with the arts community, I constantly notice that wellness is a key theme in the works we frame, show and for which we supply materials. Situated in the beautiful hinterland, it is little wonder that our artists are inspired by the beauty of the landscape, the deep roots into ancient culture and the historic streetscapes. We urge all our visitors to take time and enjoy the wondrous beauty of Yandina and the surrounding countryside. Our trained artistic consultants love discussing the finer points, whether you are a first timer or an art veteran. We are also keen to show support for our artistic community by offering a 20% discount for artists framing their own work as well as sponsoring exhibitions and competitions. Improve your wellness by visiting us in historic Yandina and sharing your ideas. ca
