Key Supplements

  • AREDS2 Formula (Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2—proven to reduce progression to advanced AMD 25%): Vitamin C 500mg, Vitamin E 400 IU, Zinc 80mg (as zinc oxide), Copper 2mg (to prevent copper deficiency from high zinc), Lutein 10mg, Zeaxanthin 2mg (PreserVision AREDS2 or generic equivalent—take daily if intermediate or advanced AMD, NOT for early AMD or no AMD—doesn't prevent onset, only slows progression)
  • Lutein 10-20mg/day + Zeaxanthin 2-4mg/day (carotenoids concentrated in macula—filter blue light, antioxidant, protective, from diet or supplements)
  • Omega-3 (DHA) 1000-2000mg/day (retina high in DHA, anti-inflammatory, protective—some studies show benefit, AREDS2 didn't but other evidence positive)
  • Astaxanthin 6-12mg/day (potent antioxidant, crosses blood-retina barrier, protects photoreceptors)
  • Bilberry Extract 160mg 2x/day (anthocyanins support retinal health, night vision)
  • Ginkgo Biloba 120-240mg/day (improves retinal blood flow—some evidence, mixed results)

Key Lab Markers

  • Dilated Eye Exam (ophthalmoscopy—visualizes macula, drusen, pigment changes, atrophy)
  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT—detailed cross-section of retina, measures retinal thickness, detects fluid—wet AMD)
  • Fluorescein Angiography (dye injected, photographs blood vessels—identifies wet AMD, choroidal neovascularization)
  • Amsler Grid (home monitoring—patient looks at grid, checks for distortion, missing areas—early sign of wet AMD conversion, should use daily if dry AMD)
