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.

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

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.
