Photobiomodulation for Early/Intermediate Dry AMD

Yeah, my mother is one of six and as far as I know, none of them have AMD.

My doctor wasn’t pleased that I stopped taking the AREDS. He said to at least take lutein supplements. But I’m not doing that either. I’m trying to get the vitamins and minerals I need through my diet.

I had appointments with both my optometrist and retina specialist about six months after I stopped taking the AREDS. And they both independently confirmed that my AMD was very slightly improved. I didn’t even know that was possible. But it confirmed what I believe about the AREDS. And that is that they don’t actually do anything. Of course, I could be wrong.

So, like I said, I have an appt. In a couple of weeks, so will find out if there is any change.

I took AREDS upon recommendation of doctor. After 2 days I had a sever case of hives on my stomach and back. Doctor said she'd not heard of that reaction however it's stated as a reaction on the insert in the box. I now take Ocuvite, it has the same ingredients but less ingredients in each dosage. Upon research, I feel the large amount of niacin didn't agree with my system. I have dry in left eye and wet in right, diagnosed nearly 3 years ago. The dry eye is diminishing faster than the wet.
