I’m curious if this will be available on this side of the pond...

Just Google MacuShield supplement . Seems you can get it.

Someone’s lying.

They probably all play with the numbers in an effort to increase donations and other sources of funding.

I was diagnosed last week with Macular Degeneration, I’m definitely going to look into this. I have the ‘dry version’ but was told it progresses into the more serious wet version.

I was a championship hurler during my college years.

Prayers and best wishes that something works for you and the millions. My wife has to undergo a retina exam into a few weeks.

These guys are serious hurlers. They use sticks.

Not true. Non-exudative ARMD (dry) CAN progress to the exudative form, but this is far from the usual sequence of events.

You should be taking a nutional supplement based on the AREDS formula, which has been shown, in an unusually thorough, long-term set of studies, to SLOW the progression of non-exudative ARMD at various stages.

The dramatic improvements claimed in this story are suspect at best. At VERY best.

Having just done a several hour web search and not being an expert, I have come to an observation. If you are looking for a vision supplement with lutein and zeaxanthin as important ingredients, look carefully. For instance, the ICaps® Lutein & Zeaxanthin formula has only 4 mg per serving combined. Many others have up to 20 mg per serving of lutein alone. You do get what you pay for in a since but prices vary widely.

Hurling is a sport there? I think I knew about this once, but I can only think of an American spectator form of the sport now. I hope this works for more people.

I also do have double vision

Do you have it because of one eye is weak and tends to "wander" when you are tired?

An optometrist showed me an eye exercise that helps, if that is your problem.

Hurling is like field hockey on steroids.

More like assault with a deadly weapon while swilling Guinness and wearing short pants if you ask me. Love it!

Has the Islamic world ever contributed a medical advance to mankind that comes anywhere close to this? Does the Muslim world contribute any medical advances to mankind?

And great and good luck to Jimmy Ahearn
