Living Well With Macular Degeneration: Practical Tips and Essential Information

Rating:
Summary: Living Well With Macular Degeneration by Rosenthal et al.
Review: The authors explain how to manage macular degeneration.
This can be done nutritionally by increasing beta carotene and
zinc which tends to deplete with advanced age. The authors
explain the benefits of increasing the intake of fruits and
dark green vegetables. We are asked to reduce or eliminate
smoking , as well as excess dietary fats. The authors
mention a number of recent scientific modalities to stabilize
vision. The PDT or photodynamic therapy is presented as a
hopeful protocol which utilizes light frequencies in order
to deal with stabilizing vision. The book is an excellent
reference for health buffs desiring to improve or stabilize
eyesight in the middle years or in anticipation of problems
which may develop in older age patients.
