Treating AMD

Treating age-related macular degeneration (AMD) involves approaches to slow its progression and preserve vision. For the wet form, doctors often use injections of special medicines directly into the eye to stop abnormal blood vessels from leaking. For the dry form, there’s no cure, but certain vitamins and minerals can help reduce the risk of progression. Lifestyle changes, like quitting smoking, managing blood pressure, and eating a healthy diet rich in green leafy vegetables and fish, also support eye health. Regular eye exams are essential to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.
