Age Related Macular Degeneration is a progressive disease of the macula, the eye’s central part of vision, which usually occurs in elderly people and can result in blindness if untreated. In this European Eye Study conducted at the Queen’s University in the United Kingdom, almost 4700 participants over 65 years of age were divided into 4 groups, ranging from those who never take aspirin to those who take aspirin every day. About 1/3 of the participants who developed wet macular degeneration were daily aspirin consumers compared to 16% without macular degeneration who took daily aspirin. The authors concluded that frequent aspirin use was associated with early and late macular degeneration and the frequency increased with increasing aspirin consumption.
