Discussion of treatments for Aging:

While it is true that older women need fewer than the FDA recommended 2,200 calories/day, no one should consume fewer than 1,500 calories per day. (Even in an attempt to lose weight.) As the body ages, there are also unique nutritional concerns. Cholesterol intake should be monitored due to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (heart diseases and stroke.) High blood pressure can be controlled through a low-fat and low-salt diet. Fruits and vegetables are known to combat the risk of cancer, and can help regulate your digestive system. In addition, post-menopausal women should consult their doctor regarding calcium supplements to prevent osteoporosis. As always, see a physician for specific recommendations.

Age-related macular degeneration: Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

Laser photocoagulation reduces the incidence of severe vision loss in the patient with subretinal neovascularization, turning serous age-related macular degeneration to the dry form.

Photodynamic therapy, which can be performed in a physician’s office, is an option for the patient with wet macular degeneration. In this procedure, verteporfin (a light-sensitive medication) is injected into a vein in the patient’s arm and allowed to circulate to the eyes. The physician then shines a laser into the eyes, and the verteporfin produces a chemical reaction that destroys abnormal blood vessels. If the vessels regrow, the procedure can be repeated.
