Could plants help treat macular disease

Professor Tim Corson from Indiana University School of Medicine discusses his latest project with the University of Surrey in the UK and how they are using powerful healing compounds found in plants, to find a treatment for macular disease.

    If plants have vitamin A, E, B1 and B2, yes. And if the soil isn't depleted of nutrients.

    Hi Anne. I'm sorry to hear that your vision has been blurry after your injections, but I'm glad to hear you haven't had any discomfort. Usually following diagnosis, people will usually have a loading dose of three injections, once a month for three months. A patient will then be assessed to see if more injections are required. It may mean you will continue needing injections for some time, depending on your condition. Please make sure you discuss this with your ophthalmologist and they will be able to update you on this.

    Absolutely! All intelligent people do. And only stupid, unqualified people come up with idiotic statements such as "NO ONE should be taking ANY DRUGS"

    Hi Satish, this is research into a potential treatment for wet AMD. However, it is very early days (pre clinical trial) and in its investigatory stages.
