19. Can people with early stage AMD take
the AREDS formulation to help prevent the disease from progressing
to the intermediate stage?
There is no reason for those diagnosed with early stage AMD to take
the AREDS formulation. The study did not find that the formulation
helped those with early stage AMD.
If
you have early stage AMD, a comprehensive dilated eye exam every
year can help determine if the disease is progressing. If early
stage AMD progresses to the intermediate stage, discuss taking the
formulation with your doctor.
