How is AMD currently treated?
There are no proven interventions that prevent AMD.If you have been diagnosed with AMD or are at risk of developing the disorder, it is reasonable to attempt to decrease the possible risk factors associated with progression of the disorder. Smoking should be discontinued, and the use of maximal ultraviolet sunglass protection on bright days should be considered. A balanced diet including green, leafy vegetables is encouraged.If the naturally bioavailable sources of vitamins are not a part of your diet, a vitamin supplement (containing A, E, C, and zinc) may be used.
