Eating Fish May Preserve Eyesight

A new study shows people who eat at least two servings of fish per week are less likely to develop age-related macular degeneration, aka AMD, a common cause of blindness among older people.

Researchers found that people who ate a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids - commonly found in tuna, salmon, and other oily fish - were nearly 40 percent less likely to develop AMD than those who ate little of this heart-healthy type of fat.
