Ive read that some eye diseases are helped by taking special vitamins; is birdshot?
There is no documented evidence that birdshot can be helped by taking special vitamins. Some physicians recommend taking the same vitamins identified to strengthen the retina; e.g., vitamin A. A recent study by the US National Institute of Health, AREDS study, found a combination of vitamins were beneficial. These supplements can be found in a variety of health food and drug stores. In addition, it is recommended that vegetables like spinach, collard greens, kale, carrots, corn, squash and fruits like blueberries should be eaten 2-3 times a week, either cooked, or raw, show benefit to eye health.
