Press Release Summary: Local man beats all odds after life altering car accident,

dedicates his life to helping seniors see better.



Press Release Body: Birmingham, AL - At the age of 16, Jeffery McAnnally, thought of
his newly acquired driver's license as his pass to freedom. In fact, for many eager
16 year olds, a driver's license is their rite of passage to adulthood. But for many
parents, handing over the car keys can be stressful, especially given the fact that
car accidents are the leading cause of death among teens and more than one third of
all deaths of 16-18 year olds.



On April 2, 1993, Jeffery McAnnally came very close to being one of those
statistics. A single car accident left this 16 year-old in a coma with numerous
broken bones, a traumatic brain injury and his doctors giving very little hope for
recovery. But, with his will and determination, he not only overcame the many
hurdles he faced with such severe injuries, he is now one of the most successful
entrepreneurs in the Birmingham area.



Now, fifteen years after that horrifying accident, 30 year-old McAnnally reflects
back on how he has and continues to overcome obstacles resulting from his injuries.
Arthritis combined with short term memory loss as a result of the brain injury make
it difficult for him to make it through each day. But he doesn't let these hurdles
slow him down. He is now President and CEO of Macular Health, a company that has
designed and developed a treatment for an eye disease called Age Related Macular
Degeneration, which is the leading cause of blindness in the United States .



"I truly believe my life was spared so I could go on to help seniors maintain their
most precious gift, 'their eyesight,' said McAnnally. And, although it is hard to
move on after such a severe injury, I believe God has a bigger plan for my life and
what that may be is yet to come."



Macular Health LLC is a one-a-day eye vitamin developed in 2003 by CEO and President
Jeffery McAnnally, with the help of an ophthalmologist who has a family history of
AMD. Macular Health is now being sold throughout the United States and is a leader
in the ophthalmic nutri-ceutical industry. For additional information visit
