    Despite receiving regular injection at the VA in San Francisco I fear losing my central vision and only have wet in one eye at this point. This lecture was very informative. I'm baffled, however, that the VA in San Francisco uses injections that cost $2,000 each whereas I read in an article from the Chicago Times that a doctor there questions why everyone wouldn't be using one of the three which only costs $50 per treatment. Perhaps I will attempt to reach this doctor to answer that question, but this was very informative. Thank you!

    Best treatment is eating all your dark leafy greens and carrot juice all organic. Also bilberry really helps plus change your diet to vegetables and fruits. Feed your eyes with the best foods. Doctors don't tell you what foods to take. My right eye improves when I eat alot of blueberries or bilberry.

    I have wet macD and have had fibromyalgia since 2001, which can cause inflammations anywhere on the body and brain. On Feb 10, 2001 I developed a pseudo tumor which a ct scan found around my optic nerve and it is a reoccurring several times a year since then sometimes on the left sometimes the right and sometimes both eyes affected as well as severe swelling on the affected side of my face. I wonder if that is why I have amd now? I am 75 yrs young and 5'2" at 123 lbs.

    Every case is different, but with my mother's case, both wet and dry, diagnosed over ten years ago, a heavy supplementation regimen has held the Avstastin syringe / needle at bay for over three years. I do not believe my mother has had more than a half-dozen shots in each eye prior to her current long-term stability. While we both take over two dozen supplements a day and I like to focus on life extension, my mother's eye supplementation regimen contains several key ingredients. Resveratrol with Quercetin, Zinc, Mixed Carotenoids, Rice Bran Extract Powder, Natural Mixed Tochopherols Vitamin E with high Gamma E, Eye Factors Formula (Lutein, Bilberry etc.), Vitamin C, Mixed Oils Supplement (Borage Seed, Flax Seed, Deep Sea Fish Oil), Twin Labs One A Day Iron Free Multi Vitamin, Grass Fed Whey Protein, non-GMO foods and many organic foods including organic beef, turkey, chicken, butter and milk. Again, each individual is different, but an excellent diet and supplementation program can provide great benefits.

But keep in mind supplements are just substitutes. Food is better. Fruits/veggies have all the antioxidants, vitamins, minerals you need to fight this. Cod liver oil, and coconut oil are good as well. The proper nutrients will keep your eyes stable and even reverse it. Just have to eat right for our sight! God bless!

      You get dry macular degeneration first. However, I believe there are no symptoms with dry AMD. So you won't know you have dry AMD unless it is advanced (geographic atrophy) or unless you are examined by an ophthalmologist.

      The culprits of wet-form AMD are:

      2. calcified Bruch's membrane (excessive calcium, iron, etc.)
      VEGF, PlGF are end products, not the culprits.
