How to treat macular degeneration?

My dad’s been diagnosed with the dry form of the disease.

:frowning:

He wants me to find information for him on the internet. Any suggestions for treatment options? He’s seventy and also has a cataract. Ugh what a sucky week!

Thanks.

I have seen a drug (not sure if it is in trials or if it is available) that comes in the form of drops. I don’t know if it is for the dry or bleeding version, but so far the results look goood for it. This is proabaly a good place to start. And FWIW, my grandmother has the bleeding verison, and now pretty much blind.

There’s some useful info here.
