Aspirin Linked to Macular Degeneration

‎01-22-2013 04:32 PM

This caught my eye, as my mother suffered from macular degeneration for several years before she passed away. She loved to read and it was so sad to see her have to give that up.

Results from an Australian study suggest that regular use of aspirin may be associated with an elevated risk for neovascular age-related macular degeneration, according to a report published January 21, 2013 in JAMA Internal Medicine. In the study, one or more times a week was considered regular use. Older people who used aspirin regularly had double the risk of the eye disease. You can read more here at the JAMA site.
