Is early detection important?
Early detection IS important because a patient destined to develop macular degeneration may benefit from nutritional intervention, which may slow or stop the progress of the disease. Furthermore, as we develop better treatments for macular degeneration, whether nutritional, medicinal, surgical, or low vision aids, those patients can sooner benefit from them. One problem is that many eye physicians, optometric and ophthalmologic, DO NOT MENTION early changes to their patients in order to not worry them. Because they are either not aware or convinced of the ability of nutritional intervention to be beneficial, they simply monitor it over time.
