    New research has found that taking a daily vitamin and mineral supplement can slow the progression of late-stage dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), otherwise known as geographic atrophy (GA).

    Dr Tiarnan Keenan from the National Eye Institute joins us to discuss these new findings in more detail and answer your questions.

    Previously, supplements, based on the AREDS2 formula, have only been recommended for those with the earlier stages of AMD. Listen to learn how this promising discovery could help maintain vision and independence longer for those with late-stage dry AMD.

    The Macular Society has been supporting people with macular conditions for over 30 years. The right information and support can help people overcome their worries and retain their independence. We provide free information and support to those with macular disease, along with their family and friends. If you or a family member need advice or support, please make sure to reach out. No one has to face macular disease alone. Please call us on 0300 3030 111.
