Searching natural remedy on AMD (Age-related Macular Degenation

The bare-bones list of harmful foods/food habits for eye health & AMD: Harmful Foods (to Limit/Avoid)
1. French fries & potato chips (acrylamide, AGEs, oxidized oils) Eat Lays Baked chips instead.
2. Burnt toast & over-browned baked goods (acrylamide)
3. Bacon, hot dogs, deli meats, smoked meats (nitrosamines, oxidized fats) Eat rarely. Microwave bacon. Uncured is better.
4. Cookies, cakes, pastries, donuts (sugar, acrylamide, trans fats)
5. Fried fast food (oxidized seed oils, AGEs)
6. Packaged snack foods (chips, crackers, margarine with seed oils)
7. Charred/grilled red meat & BBQ (HCAs, PAHs, AGEs)
8. Instant coffee (excess) (higher acrylamide than brewed)
9. Sugary drinks (soda, sweetened teas, energy drinks — drive oxidative stress)
You can take AEDS2 and eat salmon and green vegetables but if you are eating these harmful foods as well then you are simply robbing Peter to pay Paul. There are scientific articles you can find on each of these harmful food categories and how they directly damage eye health.

I may have also told you that you don't have to ever lose your driver's license. That's what my RD told me (right after he said my dry left eye will definitely turn wet eventually)

Hi Mostlyjackie, I'm not sure if you did but that's great news. Someone else on here told me the same thing, that he will never lose his ability to drive. I knew it was someone in this group chat who mentioned that little phrase to "it's not a blind death sentence". Thank you so much it really helps my days whenever darkness starts to set in. No pun intended.
I do apologize for the typos
I try to spell check but sometimes I forget.
What does your RD say about the other eye? I will keep you in my prayers
I have an Retina appointment 10/1.. everything including the AG look the same to me. Hopefully my diet is paying off.

I take the Walmart brand and prior to starting I compared the preservison ingredients to Walmart and they are spot on.

I'm confused (nothing new there!). But if you lose your central vision, how can you drive? Thanks.

I think my RD was thinking that if you continue to get the injections, you WON'T lose your central vision?

Just came back from the OCT scan and retina appt I schedule every 6 months and the Doctor said the photomodulation treatment is now available in Clinics for dry AMD. Cost 6000. The official Valeda Locator is the fastest way to see up-to-date sites near you that offer the red light treatment. I'm waiting to see if it cones down in price. That's too much money Not covered by insurances yet.

My right eye remains stable (it's wet). I get a shot of Vabysmo every 6 months (I've been extending each time). I don't really worry about it much. If your eyes are both dry, you should look at the data. You are likely to stay that way!

I was on the chewables for months but they are filled with berry juice( to disguise the medicinal taste) and affected my latex/fruit syndrome causing my throat to swell and close up..thank goodness I found the Provision ARES..hard to swallow but effective!
