Risk Factors for Macular Disorders

Macular disorders, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), are primarily influenced by aging, genetic predisposition, smoking, and excessive sun exposure. Additional risk factors include high blood pressure, obesity, and poor diet lacking in antioxidants. Individuals with a family history of macular disorders or those exposed to prolonged UV light are at higher risk of developing vision issues related to the macula.

Causes of Macular Disorders

Macular disorders, such as age-related macular degeneration, are primarily caused by aging, genetic factors, and oxidative stress. Additional causes include excessive exposure to UV light, smoking, and poor diet lacking in essential nutrients like antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. Chronic conditions like high blood pressure, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases can also contribute to the deterioration of the macula over time.
