Could Daily Aspirin Harm Seniors Eyes?

Posted by Bharat (#1) 4287 days ago (Editorial)
Daily aspirin use among seniors may double their risk of developing a particularly advanced form of age-related macular degeneration, a debilitating eye disease, a large new European study suggests.The possible link involves the so-called "wet" type of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a significant cause of blindness in seniors.Aspirin use was not, however, found to be associated with an increased risk for developing the more common, and usually less advanced, "dry" form of AMD, according to the report published in the January issue of Ophthalmology. healthyliving.msn.com
