The BEST resource for AMD Info!!! by J. Northup 5 Stars
August 06, 2008
This book was a very easy read. A "must have" source of information if you've just been told you or a family member has AMD. There is also information about nutrition which is not only helpful for eye health but TOTAL body health as well. In the back of the book Dr. Samuel speaks about what you can do to start protecting your vision today... get on an eye vitamin. He mentions a couple different choices for comparison. I started taking the EyeScience - Macular Health Formula from EyeScience.com because they have more ingredients and a free trial. Good Luck.
