  • For younger people watching: I am 56 and was diagnosed with WMD 2 years ago. Although I'm getting injections to slow the progression, I just wish I was smarter in my younger years. I'm just praying I won't lose the ability to read, my favorite and most fulfilling pastime. Do all you can now to prevent this devastating condition.

    Thank you, Dr. Mendelsohn. I am 66 and was diagnosed with Dry MD in both eyes about a year ago when I noticed the lines on my computer were wavy near my central vision in my right eye. I have a family history of wet and dry MD. My Ophthalmologist said I would likely loose my central vision within 10 years. Then she recommended AREDS 2 twice a day and I've been diligently taking them ever since. I just had a follow-up and my ophthalmologist happily said my eyes are stable, and while not expecting it, she said my eyes actually looking a little better.

  • I'm a 61 year old woman with a mother that is currently being treat for AMD and a grandmother that had it as well. Currently I'm taking the AREDS, eatting more spinich with my eggs in the morning, taking fish oil supplements, and will start moving my work computer further away. And I need to purchase some better sunglasses. And I need to get more salmon in my diet. This Dr didn't say anything about spinich, however Dr Berg does mention it to be important. And it can't hurt.
