Not just a little squeak Pucker up and blow

Okay, now I'm going to ask you to pucker up.

Pucker up big and lean in just a little bit, okay?

My data indicates that I've got about average risk for developing macular degeneration, a kind of blindness.

In many forms of blindness, like retinitis pigmentosa, or macular degeneration, the photoreceptor cells have atrophied or been destroyed.

Not the kind I get from Joey or the Madison Avenue highdomes who say gesundheit before I even pucker up to sneeze.

And she told me the nurses hadn't mentioned this that she was blind, that she had been completely blind from macular degeneration for five years.

and many more worldwide who are blind or are facing blindness due to diseases of the retina, diseases like macular degeneration, and there's little that can be done for them.

But Folkman persevered, and eventually he proved that such chemical substances do exist. Today, four decades later, such substances have been used to treat more than 10 million people with neovascular diseases such as macular degeneration and many different forms of cancer.

So what happens when a person gets a retinal degenerative disease like macular degeneration? What happens is is that, the front end cells die, the photoreceptors die, and over time, all the cells and the circuits that are connected to them, they die too.
