Dry macular degeneration
Dry macular degeneration is a common eye disorder among people over 50, which causes blurred or reduced central vision, due to thinning of the macula lutea.The dry form of macular degeneration is manifested by a gradual thinning of the retina, the death of photoreceptor cells, and the formation of pathological structures leading to severe vision impairment and blindness.
The course of the disease is slow, and there is not yet any available therapy that would eliminate the symptoms of advanced AMD. For this reason, increased intake of substances beneficial to eye health, in the form of a diet designed to delay early stages of the disease, is recommended.
