Fourth, taking in some advanced vitamins or zinc can prevent us from developing AMD. But be sure to consult with our eye doctor and listen to his advice on which supplement should be taken according to our condition as some supplements will be bad for our medication effect. If we have diseases like high blood pressure or diabetes, we are required to have them checked as they will affect our preventing way. Last but not least, if the above is not effective, we can take laser eye surgery to destroy the blood vessels to prevent the macular degeneration from deteriorating.
