It is only after I discovered that I had ARMD (Age Related Macular Degeneration) in one of my eyes that I came to know of this supplement Lutein that is good for the eyes I am now taking it regularly and must say although the eye has the issue it has not deteriorated and in fact I do not even wear glasses now for reading and long distance.
There are foods that contain Lutein such as greens, carrots and beetroots. I eat a piece of boiled beetroot every day
What do you do to take care of your eyes?

When one knows about foods that contain Lutein as in your case there is no better way than eating the right kind of foods
I eat a boiled egg every day

@allknowing If the supplement works well, then for sure it would be good to take them. I wonder if that helps with eye health in general?

But a supplement when one has the issue takes care of it faster than food would - just my opinion

@much2say What we need is good eye sight and I get the feeling Lutein does just that.

You can still do a test Close one eye and then the other and if you find no issue then all is well. That is how I found out rather accidentally. I closed one eye and the open eye saw the window rods shaky. But when both eyes were open all was well.

I feel protected taking the capsules as I cannot depend on foods that contain Lutein

@LadyDuck You must have already done a thorough search on the Net for possible cure but as you say it is not that easily curable. I found this link that might help you

@allknowing - I would like to have something to protect me from glaucoma, unfortunately there is nothing that works for this.

@allknowing I'm diabetic and it’s to help keep blood sugar in check. It has other health benefits too. I have Nystagmus and I’m legally blind. I’ve had it my whole life.

Any coloured vegetable or fruit are good for the eyes. I take homemade fruit juice which contains beetroot and carrots and green vegetables almost every day.

Speaking of Lutein, I used to take Lutein supplements. Its been a while so maybe I'll start taking it again soon. What I'm taking everyday is multivitamins and mineral supplement.

@allknowing I remember it containing Retinol. I don't take supplements unless my doctor recommends.

Some eye issues can be corrected such as cataract but ARMD is there to stay. Lutein can control it but not cure it
