Have her start taking billberry on top of it all. They used to give WWII pilots billberry to help their nightvision and it helps with macular degeneration as well.

I am a student of acupuncture. Although I have not yet specifically studied macular degeneration, I can tell you that the energetic network of the body contains several channels and many collaterals that reach the eyes. Thus, acupuncture, which accesses the points along these meridians, is able to treat disorders of the eyes. While studying in China, I visited an eye hospital where acupuncture was used, and we visited a clinic where several treatments were taking place. The doctors noted dramatic improvements in their patients. A google search for acupuncture and macular degeneration turns up some interesting results. Good luck to you and your mother!

Hi sups

My father had it, it is hereditary so I would urge you to do what you can to prevent it for yourself as well.

I don't think I'm in line to get it - think is the operative word. My father had blue eyes, I don't. People with blue eyes are more prone to get it.

However, I was advised to take care, and eat lots of leafy greens - kale is particularly good. THe other thing was care with the colour of sunglasses. Yellow and brown are good tints for sun-shades, green and blue are less good. But def wear sunshades in the sun.

It's a terrible thing to get I think for the elderly, when they want the comfort of reading when they have little mobility. For dad, he had dementia as well and used to sit there turning pages over even tho he couldn't see. He didn't know he couldn't see and just felt the familiarity of reading.

I would seek an optician who can give good dietary advice to slow the progression of the disease as well as alternatives.
