Dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can slowly steal your central vision, making it harder to read, recognize faces, or see fine details. While there is currently no cure, there are ways to help protect your vision.
For patients with dry AMD and geographic atrophy, eye injections may help slow the progression and delay further vision loss.
Although drusen can’t be treated directly, certain people may benefit from AREDS2 nutritional supplements—a specific blend of vitamins and minerals shown to slow dry AMD in eligible patients. Your ophthalmologist can help determine if these supplements are right for you.
Early diagnosis, regular monitoring, and proper care are key to protecting your vision for as long as possible.
