Air pollution linked to increased risk of irreversible sight loss CNN 1/26/2021 By Amy Woodyatt, CNN © Lindsey Parnaby/AFPGetty Images Researchers from UCL found that air pollution was linked to irreversible sight loss. Increases in air pollution are linked to an increased risk of irreversible sight loss, according to a new study. Researchers from University College London (UCL) found that even low exposure to air pollution across England, Scotland and Wales appears to impact the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is the leading cause of irreversible blindness among people over 50 in high-income countries. AMD is linked to the loss of central vision needed for reading, performing fine detailed tasks and recognizing faces and the biggest risk factors for the disease are genetics, old age and smoking.
