@natofborg Yes I dont know if it will show up but AOA has posted many studies on this:...ah its not allowing me post a link here but there are many studies

[natofborg]

@latifi1 Can you post links to any specific studies that verify with empirical evidence that anioxidants stabilize the vision of a person with ARMD?

[latifi1]

Life Style is important but antioxidants play a big role in stabilizing the eye and help prevent AMD from getting worse. The MaxiVision supplements (u can get them on Amazon), helped my dads eyes be stable , they have been stable for a year. Doctors need to preach more about antioxidants

Good graphics. Broad coverage of GA, dry MD, wet MD - used appropriate technical terms without them being overpowering.
