Beyond AREDS at the Eye Nutrition Meeting in Barcelona

Treatment for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a topic that seems to attract controversy. On issues such as NHS costs and drug efficacy, arguments surrounding AMD treatment now extend well outside the medical profession and into the public arena.

The role of diet and dietary supplements in AMD is not short on controversy either and again this debate is increasingly being played out in public. When the best nutrients for eye health are published on the pages of The Daily Mail it may be time for all eye care practitioners to join that debate.
