As your body ages, it’s natural for it to become less effective at producing certain cells. It’s also natural that certain parts of your body will start to break down. 

Our eyes are particularly susceptible to this age-related breakdown. The “Macula” is a very important part of your retina, and responsible for the central part of your vision. As we age, the Macula has a tendency to break down. 

This results in severe problems with your sight - such as floaters, specks, and blurry vision. These can then escalate into “black clouds” in the centre of your vision, depriving you of clear sight – and even your independence. 

Treatments for Age-Related Vision Decline often comes in one of two forms. The first is a “corrective” tool, such as glasses or contact lenses. These act as temporary crutches – while they help in the short term, they may end up “teaching” our cells they’re not needed anymore, causing them to waste away. 

The second is medical intervention which is often expensive, painful, and dangerous. Procedures like laser eye surgery can cost thousands, while eye injections have been known to sometimes make vision worse by causing cataracts – not to mention a whole host of other side effects. 

For most people, these just aren’t reasonable options. One of the reasons this becomes a problem as we age is due to our “Adult Self Repair Cells.” 

These “Multi-purpose” repair cells are something that we’re all born with. Our body uses these cells to fix any damage that occurs throughout our lives. When we’re young, our body has plenty and uses them for cell repair. 

This makes sure everything is working like it’s supposed to. But as we age, we start to run out of these Adult Self Repair Cells – meaning our bodies can’t heal as well as they used to. 

As a result, when our Macula breaks down, our bodies are no longer able to repair it – which could mean permanent vision impairment or a total loss of eyesight.
