Age related macular degeneration, also known as AMD, is an eye disease that is progressive in nature and can lead to blindness.  It is a degenerative disease that affects over 10 million Americans and millions more globally.  There are two forms of AMD:  The Wet Form and The Dry Form.  The dry form can be slowed with the proper macular degeneration nutrition, which consists of a diet rich in dark green leafy vegetables, fruits, lean meats, and seafood. The most important antioxidants and nutrients you can feed your body to protect your eyes are: beta-carotene, vitamin c, vitamin e, zinc, copper, lutein, and zeaxanthin.
