Has anyone been treated with this new therapy? My doctor just recommended this for my advanced stage of dry AMD.

I’m also a candidate, but Medicare doesn’t cover…it’s expensive…and am unaware of any studies that suggest it’s beneficial. Hopeful for improvement in all of these…

Started taking AREDS 2 supplements as recommended.

I’ve been taking AREDS for 15 years. It has probably prolonged my good vision until now.
