Excellent presentation. Thank you...very educational.

Thank you Dr. Mendelsohn for this very informative video.

I'm a 61 year old woman with a mother that is currently being treat for AMD and a grandmother that had it as well. Currently I'm taking the AREDS, eatting more spinich with my eggs in the morning, taking fish oil supplements, and will start moving my work computer further away. And I need to purchase some better sunglasses. And I need to get more salmon in my diet. This Dr didn't say anything about spinich, however Dr Berg does mention it to be important. And it can't hurt.

Thank you, Dr. Mendelsohn. I am 66 and was diagnosed with Dry MD in both eyes about a year ago when I noticed the lines on my computer were wavy near my central vision in my right eye. I have a family history of wet and dry MD. My Ophthalmologist said I would likely loose my central vision within 10 years. Then she recommended AREDS 2 twice a day and I've been diligently taking them ever since. I just had a follow-up and my ophthalmologist happily said my eyes are stable, and while not expecting it, she said my eyes actually looking a little better.

I went on a diet of vegetable and lots of fruit and I can read with both eyes now…the wavy line vision has gone. I also took vitamin B 12 methylcobalamine and integral rice etc…..no white refined or processed food…. Also coffee has a bad effect on eyesight.

So much good info. TY. I am wondering if you take all the components in AREDS 2 in supplements is that fine or does it have to e AREDS2?

First of all, Thanx Doc for uploading ds very informative video. I've come across ds video vry recently. I'm fm India and my father is suffering fm AMD for the past few years which has become worse now and his vision is all but gone.His age is 75+. I used to wonder what's the reason? It couldn't be Diabetic Retinopathy bcz he nvr had any history of blood sugar. He had quit smoking almost two decades back and evn thn he was not a vry heavy smoker. He had cataract sugery few yrs bk and was under regular treatment under an ophthalmologist. But I think it is just bad luck that he's suffering lyk this.

Thank you so much Dr.

Very helpful thank you

There was no audio whatsoever. Too bad, looked like a good presentation.

Great content Dr. My 13 year old daughter has asymptomatic atypical ERM around her RE Macula which has progressed over 2 years. The amount of iPad time she spends due to school and then using it for downtime, its out of this world. She's literally spent time in front of the iPad from waking to Bed! Many times! And while her Optometrist said its unlikely the cause or could cause progression, I somehow don't find it comforting or believable! Intuitively I have advised by daughter to not have the iPad screen so close to her face, but she doesn't like it, I belive some really good Blue blockers, diet and reduction is sugar could help stop/ reduce the spread? Also the downtime will spent on blue screens needs to be eliminated, for my sons too, they are just as bad. Great content sir. Many Blessings.

Thanks for that important info. I was diagnosed with macular degeneration over 7 years. ICAP VITAMINS also kale and spinach juice was prescribed. Are those ok for me?

Thank you for the information, but how do I but these sunglasses. I find 400uv, but can't find the front back and side. What do I look for. Also I were perscription glasses. Can I get these to go over my glasses?

Thank You! VERY MUCH! I have Demaculia ~~I I am taking these supplements~~ there anything that can take it right away? What would you suggest?

THANK YOU DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!PERFECT!!!!!

The best treatment for AMD for me would be a knowledgeable, caring retinal specialist. I don't like being told there is nothing they can do for me and seeing this video and others showing what is new for AMD care.

Thank you.

Thank a lot

What is difference between the “ restore lens” noted and Toric lenes?

Very straightforward (but not at all boring) presentation with enough why and how-to to give the viewer reasons and methods for trying to minimize or eliminate causes of macular degeneration. I feel that I can minimize my risk for AMD with confidence now.

@@kristinemeints Hi, Over the last three years I've been getting injections in my right eye for macular d. up until then I was and still am using eye drops to control the pressure in my eyes for glaucoma (it never just rains before it pours) I suggest looking up Dr Berg and anything linking age related macular degeneration and nutrition. When I was first diagnosed with glaucoma I studied everything I could find and took several vitamins listed for the eyes plus blueberries and the Dr (not knowing I had stopped using the eye drops for the 3 months between appointments, told me to keep on doing whatever I was doing and so I did...18 months later my eyes spiked in pressure and he wanted to know what happened? Embarrassed because I hadn't had the courage to inform him I then confessed; furious he checked my charts to see that the pressure had not increased until this apt. but I none the less I did not stop the drops in defiance; I had presumed that the following apt would reveal a spike and I could quietly go back on the eye drops without too much ado. Back to the point; our physical health has much more to do with good nutrition than I had ever guessed. Because I live in Australia, I couldn't get all of the recommended herbs and not all items are suitable for all people, so check everything out and make a plan, the injections worked very well; almost no distortion at all. Hope this helps

Cigars are they just as bad if you are not inhaling it and just taste in it and blowing it out and are cigars just as bad if you have sunglasses on and have your eyes closed when you are smoking them so the smoke does not go into your eyes what is it the smoke going into your eyes it causes the problem or some of the smoke going into your mouth and into your bloodstream would be good to know because I always have my eyes protected when smoking and also I don't inhale the smoke thanks I also make sure after smoking cigar I take some antioxidants like liquid glitter thyon to help oxygenate my body is this going to help and a cigar is only smoked maybe once a month

Polarized sunglasses can make some people feel "crazy." Basically while or after wearing them for a while (for me it was more than 2-3 hours continuously) you start to feel disoriented and unbalanced as though you have vertigo. It takes some time in a fully shaded area, like indoors, to recover from this. What's the deal? Others report this on the Internet as well.
