While anti-VEGF injections are the primary treatment for wet AMD and can help stabilize or even improve vision loss, they may not completely resolve distortion. The AREDS 2 vitamin formula may be beneficial as a supplementary treatment. This includes
- 500mg vitamin C
- 400 IU vitamin E
- 10mg lutein
- 2mg zeaxanthin

- Maintaining a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish and nuts
- Reducing red meat and dairy intake
- Keeping blood pressure in a healthy range
- Regular exercise
- Quitting smoking if you currently smoke

It's important to discuss any new supplements with your eye care team to ensure they're appropriate for your specific situation and won't interfere with your current treatments.
