Lutein and Zeaxanthin Raise Macular Pigment Density and Serum Concentrations of these Carotenoids

It is surprising how many elderly patients I see in my office that are affected by AMD. Many of them would do just about anything to get their eyesight back. I do not believe that AMD can be reversed, but I do strongly believe that carotenoids such as these, as well as zinc and the bioflavanoids found in bilberry can prevent or slow the progression. Another incredibly simple preventative measure is to constantly wear sunglasses–even when the sun is tucked behind the clouds.
