Areds 2

I took them for 3 days and had some bad reactions.my vision seems to have gotten worse from them plus some severe health problems.what do I do.just die.

  1. what I would do is start with my primary care doctor for the other health issues. Your retinal specialist may be able to recommend an alternative supplement. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader

    1. How are you able to have kept your vision for so long.

      1. in most cases macular degeneration progresses slowly. My vision isn’t great but I manage pretty well. I take areds2 and eat a Mediterranean style diet. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader

    2. Do you still drive.at night or day

      1. my license isn’t restricted but I choose not to drive at night. I can drive in the small town I am familiar with. It’s hard to read signs in unfamiliar places. I hope to get fitted with bioptic glasses this summer. They would help me read signs or construction zones more easily. I am getting Izervay injections and hope they slow the progression.

    3. What do you do in the winter time when it gets dark early.do you take taxi's to go out.

      1. I live in a rural area with no taxi, Uber, etc. We rarely go out at night. It’s inconvenient but there is nothing I can do about it. On rare occasions, my husband will drive at night but we try to avoid it. Warmly, Sharon Moore patient leader
