My mother was diagnosed with macular degeneration. She actually lost the central vision in one eye. We are trying to maintain the other eye stable, by means of proper diet (lots of fish and spinach although she doesn't like spinach) and vitamins (occuguard, grapeseed extract, bilberry, etc.) and it has remained stable for the past year. She had had that dye treatment in the eye (that she eventually lost vision) and I'm not so certain of how effective b/c I believe it destroys some of the good as well. Pls let me know if you know of anything that has been proven to help. Thank you, S.
