What Increases Chance Of Myopic Macular Degeneration?
i have wet myopic macular degeneration and am being treated with Avastin. I work 8 hours a day on the computer and needless to say my eyes are very strained. Could I speed the process of macular degeneration by working on the computer such long hours?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having macular degeneration and on treatment with avastin injections.
Long working hours with computer will not have any effect on macular degeneration.
Use of antioxidants will prevent progression.
Along with this cessation of smoking if you are doing it will help further to prevent progression.
Thank you
