7.Limit Meat and Junk Foods
If you have macular degeneration, saturated and trans fats from red meat, whole milk, fried foods, and baked goods can increase your vision damage. Also limit omega-6 fatty acids from sunflower, safflower, and corn oils. Olive and canola oils are healthier cooking choices.
8.Try a Do-It-Yourself Vision Test
Consider using the Amsler grid, a simple test that can help you spot eye damage early, when it’s easier to treat. It’s a graph full of straight lines with a dot in the middle. If the lines turn wavy or distorted when you look at them, or if you see black spots anywhere on the graph, it could mean you’ve moved on to the wet macular degeneration stage. Ask your eye doctor how often you should check the grid and how to interpret what you see.
