Eye Care Tips for Someone with Macular Degeneration?

My relative has macular degeneration, and their eye specialist suggested a few helpful steps — like using brighter lighting, wearing UV-protection sunglasses, and taking regular screen breaks to reduce eye strain. They also recommended eating more leafy greens and foods rich in omega-3 to support eye health.

Has anyone else tried similar methods or found other ways to manage vision comfort and slow progression? I’d love to hear what’s worked best for you or your loved ones.

  1. I have had macular degeneration for about 18 years and it hasn't changed from early stage MD. I also have very dry eyes and cataracts. I don't eat factory processed or created food. No fast food and stay away from soft drinks. My food Bible is "Eat to Beat Disease" . I also take supplements for my eyes and general health. Omega 3. And ARED2 formula that is low zinc as I have issues with high zinc levels. I exercise and live as for away from the city pollution as possible.
