Slightly off topic here -

My aunt has macular degeneration and has slowly been going blind for several years. She no longer has enough vision to drive and is dependent on others for many things.

I saw a Dr. program recently that claimed this condition is 100% preventable by simply protecting your eyes from the sun. This means wearing a good pair of sunglasses when outside - from childhood on.

It appears your skin isn't all that needs sunblock.
