Vitamins & Macular Degeneration

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of visual impairment among older adults in developed countries. Most treatments are directed toward the advanced stages of the disease — but prevention may yield more significant results than treatment.

Research has revealed that vitamin supplementation can be helpful in slowing the rate of visual loss in patients with AMD.

AREDS & AREDS 2 — These large-scale National Eye Institute studies found benefits of dietary supplementation in AMD patients, including Vitamin C, Vitamin E, lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc, and copper.
