In dry type of age related macular degeneration, the cells of the visually most important part – macula of the eye become weak and degenerate. There is no treatment for this. You can take Gloeye and other anti-oxidants supplements like capsules Novoret / Omegared / I-Site, which lowers the rate of progression of the disease.
