Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    The first step to stopping macular degeneration is to avoid smoking and avoid being around second hand smoke. If you are a smoker this can lead to macular degeneration, and if you are not a smoker even being around second hand smoke can cause macular degeneration as well(the smoke from cigarettes kills cells in your macula).

  2. Step 2
