How many age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) cases are reported each year in California.?
815970
According to the source (see link) below, approximately 2 million Americans are affected by AMD annually.  Although I was unable to find records pertaining only to California, it might be reasonable to interpolate using statistics.  America has around 300 million residents, so this suggests that 2/300 or a 0.6% rate of occurrence among the general population.\n\nCalifornia, with a population of just over 36,000,000, should therefore expect to see a little more than 237,600 cases of AMD annually.\n\nBear in mind that several reports show Latinos at a higher risk of contracting AMD, and that California also has a substantial Latino community, so the statistics may be skewed slightly higher in that state.

Its not an urban legend... there are in fact twelve documented cases reported annually worldwide.\nIt's the most puzzling thing to the medical community, since there is no apparent cause for it.

I don't know about the ra factor but I had e lasik for myopic astigmastism and it did no good.  it was the biggest wast of money I have ever spent!  Before I had it done I could at least read the caller Id on the phone, now I can't see that!

Hi timo (?). I'm a past president of the Rotary club of Baguio Sunrise here in the Philippines. I was one of those who helped organize the Rotaract club of STI Baguio Sunrise. This is a school based rotaract club. They are on semestral break now but soon as school resumes I will refer your question to them. I am sure they will be more than willing to communicate with you. RAC STI is a very very active club. They are only on their second year yet they were awarded as one of the Outstanding rotaract clubs of our District 3790.\nThanks and I look forward to extended friendships between your Rotaract Club and our Rotaract Club.\nGod Bless.

We have had some problems with it in the Bay area. Something to do with leaking cavity fluids, or the like. Legislation was proposed. I do not remember if there was any outcome, or not. It has been a while and I was not paying strict attention, as I am a living organism sort of guy.

My grandma had one at age 70 and I know of someone else that is 26 and has cataracts. I think anyone of any age can get them if that's what you mean. They are more predominant in the elderly, but I think that's b/c over time, the sun can cause them.

Central Serous Choroidopathy ( CSR )\n\n\nCentral serous choroidopathy (CSR) presents most commonly in young men, 20 to 50 years of age, with a rather sudden onset of blurred vision in one eye, minification of images, reduced color vision, or a central "blind spot" in the involved eye. The exact cause of the condition is unknown, but the disorder is characterized by "leakage" of fluid in the central macula. Patients with CSR generally have vision in the 20/20 to 20/100 range and a serous (clear fluid) retinal detachment may be discovered by the examining ophthalmologist. A fluorescein angiogram may be utilized to confirm the diagnosis.

i've seen an article using bevacizumab (generic for Avastin) in treating age-related macular degeneration. normally, bevacizumab is used in the treatment of colorectal cancer. to answer your question, tho, i'm not sure it's been used for any corneal problems. macular degeneration is a problem with the retina.

There's also a condition called asteroid hyalosis, which is calcium deposits in the vitreous.  It's very similar to floaters, but the patient rarely notices them.

Go to www.martindale.com and do a search for estate planning lawyers in your area.  Find only those with A/V ratings.  \n\nFrom there, check their listing on the California Bar website at www.calbar.ca.gov.  On the right hand side, you'll see a link for "check an attorney's bar membership record."  Form there you can see if they have a legal specialty in estate planning and whether they've ever been disciplined.\n\nWhen you find one that is both A/V rated and has a legal specialty in estate planning, give them a call and ask for a free consultation.

Go here:\n\nhttp://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html\n\nAnd search for Penal Code section 12275.  That will tell you everything you need to know.\n\nIf it ends up leaving you with a question, call the Attorney General Firearms Division at the phone number listed on their website.

If you are looking for assistance from the county, I would call the social services office. They should handle all financial assistance issues there. If they cannot help, try the county health department. \n\nConsider emailing or calling the Eye Institute that you mentioned.. or go there for a meeting with service providers. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...
