That is how I discovered mine! Dots like those on one of those boards with holes in it that people put tools on...thanks to too many McDonalds fries...now I try not to eat many fried foods, but McDonalds fries are the WORST offenders. AReds cleared my eyes up after that...that was about 10 years ago. My Opthalmologist told me this year that my dry macular degeneration was just in the beginning stages...So I continue taking those AREds!
