Vision loss in the early stages of dry AMD is usually moderate and progresses slowly. Wet AMD light-sensin- g is less common, but more threatening to vision. With wet AMD, tiny blood vessels grow under the retina and leak or break open. This distorts vision and causes scar tissue to form. Laser therapies can be effective in controlling the advances of wet AMD, but are ineffective in treating dry AMD. A recent study by the National Eye Institute has shown that high dosage sup- plements of zinc, vitamins C and E, and beta-caroten- e may slow the progression of both forms of AMD, but they are not a cure. This breakthrough gives real hope to people with dry AMD, as prior to these findings, there was no known treatment, said Colleen Malouf, President & CEO. Because the use of nutritional supplements involves some risk, anyone considering taking these supplements should consult with their physician first. added Malouf. The exact cause of AMD is unknown, but risk factors for the disease include age, being Caucasian, and smoking.
