ARMD

Yesterday I found out some information about age related macular degeneration ARMD that will be of some help of members of the family. So far as I know no relatives of mine has had ARMD. That does not mean much as it is disease of late in life and just may not have shown up. At yesterdays meeting of the ARMD support group at the Jules Stien Eye Institute at UCLA they had a talk by a retinaeonologist and a researcher on the possibility of inheritance of ARMD. He, after 16 year, of research could not come a definite conclusion that it is inherited. He did recommended that if someone in the family has ARMD the family members should be aware and do what is available to lessen its future effect. This not much to go on, there isn’t much.
