macular degeneration runs on my mom’s side of the family..hoping they find a treatment before I lose my sight one day. I’ve had drusen in both eyes since I was in my 20s. Now in my early 40s it’s still there and worse.

I have it too, plus cataracts,

I wanted to get the cataract surgery two years year ago when I had great insurance, but my doc said to wait. Now she's left the city and I don't have the great insurance anymore.

Anyway, my optometrist said to take “Areds2 plus multivitamins”. This is specifically formulated for eye care.

Sorry to hear. Not sure we will benefit from such developments as mentioned in this article but I welcome progress and hope in being able to fix broken bodies.
