Many doctors suggest taking anti-oxidants such as vitamins A, C, and E and Zinc. Macular Degeneration is not very well understood and is highly linked to hereditary. It has been shown that smoking greatly increases the risk of macular degeneration so perhaps the first step would be to stop smoking. There are certain formulations that have been shown to decrease the advancement of ARMD. No study has proven that these are the best formulations. They are simply formulations that were chosen and tested. Further studies would be needed to provide information about how much and how often these antioxidants should be taken. Wearing sunglasses is also certainly important when exposed to UV light.

These vitamins and antioxidants designed specifically for macular degeneration have proven to slightly decrease the progression of macular degeneration after the onset has been diagnosed. There is no clinical evidence indicating the use of these substances can prevent macular degeneration. Live a healthy life as best you can. The retina is one of the highest metabolic tissues in the body and the macular area is the most sensitive area in the retina. Waste products build up in these tissues and this is the root cause of macular degeneration. Stop smoking is a good suggestion. Kiss your optometrist.
