How do you prepare for macular degeneration?

Choose a healthy diet. The antioxidant vitamins in fruits and vegetables contribute to eye health. Kale, spinach, broccoli, squash and other vegetables have high levels of antioxidants, including lutein and zeaxanthin, which may benefit people with macular degeneration.

How is macular degeneration assessed?

Your eye doctor puts drops in your eyes to dilate them. Then a special instrument is used to examine the back of your eye. Your eye doctor looks for fluid or blood or a mottled appearance that's caused by yellow deposits that form under the retina, called drusen. People with macular degeneration often have many drusen.
