How To Halt or
Reverse Vision Loss



Simeon Margolis, MD, PhD

Medical Editor, The Johns Hopkins White Papers



Dear Concerned Health Alerts Reader:

Most of us take our vision for granted until we develop a disorder like cataracts, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.

While people may fear losing their vision entirely, it's important to realize that vision loss can often be halted, or even reversed, with early treatment.

Fortunately, if you have one of these eye disorders and are treated early enough, the progression of disease can often be slowed or even halted, helping you return to daily activities such as driving, grocery shopping, reading, and performing household tasks.

Get the facts you need NOW to prevent vision loss, and learn about the most current and effective treatments for common eye disorders.Read on...
