A member asked:
Are there any environmental factors that could worsen or cause macular generation/retinal detachment? is mobile phone use in dark one of them? pc use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
UV protection: UV protection is generally recommended for macular degeneration. PC or mobile use has not been associated with any retinal damage to date. An eye doctor will let you know if eye vitamins are beneficial, which depends on the severity of the degeneration. Take care.
