Q: I am a 43 years old male suffering from age related macular degeneration (dry) in left eye. How can it be managed? I consulted a doctor, who suggested Gloeye once daily. Will I get the same problem in the right eye?
A: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.
