Vitamin supplements
For people with intermediate or advanced disease, taking a high-dose formulation of antioxidant vitamins and minerals may help reduce the risk of vision loss. Research from the AREDS2 (Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2) shows benefit in a formulation that includes:
-- 500 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C
-- 400 international units (IU) of vitamin E
-- 10 mg of lutein
-- 2 mg of zeaxanthin
-- 80 mg of zinc (as zinc oxide)
-- 2 mg of copper (as cupric oxide)
The evidence doesn't show benefit in these supplements for people with early-stage dry macular degeneration. Ask your doctor if taking supplements is right for you.
