If your ophthalmologist is concerned about your macular degeneration or has informed you that you will probably lose some or all of your sight to macular degeneration, this can be a seriously depressing diagnosis. Fortunately, you can do something to fight off this scary development. Studies have shown that taking a daily dose of omega 3 rich fish oil can dramatically slow or even halt macular degeneration if you also make other lifestyle changes such as stopping smoking and taking care of autoimmune disorders like diabetes (Archives of Opthamology 2007 vol. 125, no. 1: 55-62). Do not give up on your eyesight without a fight. Make the necessary lifestyle changes and start taking an omega 3 fish oil supplement today.
