The study, published in Ophthalmology, reviewed retinal scans from participants in the Age-Related Eye Diseases Studies (AREDS and AREDS2). The results showed that for patients with late-stage dry AMD, these supplements slowed the expansion of geographic atrophy regions toward the central foveal region of the retina by approximately 55% over an average of three years. While the supplements had limited benefit for those with geographic atrophy already affecting the central vision, they significantly slowed the disease&#8217;s progression in other cases. This reinforces the importance of continued use of AREDS2 supplements for managing late-stage dry AMD, offering a potential strategy for preserving central vision amidst few other therapeutic options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/linkinghub.elsevier.com\/retrieve\/pii\/S0161642024004251\">https:\/\/linkinghub.elsevier.com\/retrieve\/pii\/S0161642024004251<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent analysis conducted by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), it has been found that daily antioxidant vitamin and mineral supplements can slow the progression of late-stage dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
