To my knowledge, the only thing that comes close to a natural remedy for AMD is Areds2. It actually does not cure AMD but helps to prolong your sight. Eye injections also do not cure AMD but just prolong your vision. A German company is in trials for an oral drug for AMD that will prolong vision. AREDS2 come as chewables and they seem to work better with my digestive system than the capsules.

I wish that I had better understood the importance of the vitamins and other ingredients in AREDS early on. I am 86 now and in intermediate stage. I can tell my vision has changed greatly. Retinal specialist thought I might be going into GA stage but on last visit, he did not start me on injections but said to return in four months for another check. My retinal specialist has great credentials and training and I have no doubt that what he is telling me is correct. I will stick with AREDS and green leafy veggies.

In addition to green leafy veggies, YELLOW foods help maintain eyes. And it’s not just veggies. Any yellow food like egg yolks, corn (even popcorn), yellow bell peppers, contain lutein, which is the nutrient that is beneficial to eye health. Pistachios is another non-leafy source high in lutein.
