- Age-Related Macular Degeneration: From One Medical Student to Another
The Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) defined categories based on the exam findings of drusen, atrophy, and neovascularization; these categories are defined below [3,6] No AMD: fewer than 5 small (<63 microns) drusen; Mild AMD: Multiple small drusen or some intermediate sized (63-124 microns) drusen

AREDS variants included lowered zinc doses, a combination without beta carotene, or both After following patients for six years, primary analyses of the study demonstrated that adding EPA + DHA, zeaxanthin + lutein, or both did not lead to further risk reduction or progression to an advanced state of AMD [7]

A follow-up study, AREDS-2, investigated the effects of omega-3 fatty acids alongside the antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin, in AMD patients Omega-3 fatty acids were found to have no effect, while lutein and zeaxanthin together were found to be an effective substitute for beta-carotene, which is known to increase the risk of lung cancer in
