Dear PMT (or who ever it is out there),

    You're absolutely right! My practice happened to to be one of the
    sites in the original study on nutritional factors in macular
    degeneration, sponsored by the late Peter Lahay. The relationship is
    a statistical question and it took thousands of patients over a
    number of years to reach a credible conclusion. That began some 16 or
    18 years ago and has now been corroborated by a number of other
    similar studies. There are several products on the "over-the-counter"
    market containing the identified antioxidant factors, Ocu-Vite was
    the original one. 

    The other nutritional factor which is deeply intertwined with eye
    health is the group of Omega-3 essential fatty acids. As we age a
    deficiency becomes very common, especially among those of us who try
    to control our cholesterol balance with dietary fat restriction and
    statins. The usual ocular symptoms are dry eye and unstable visual
    clarity. Dietary supplementation with flax seed and/or fish oil is
    the miraculously simple solution. I've posted several comments on
    this in the past. 

    Good health to all, 

Dr. Mac
