First thing that should be done is to correct diet...get sugar out of your diet completely. Sugar is the direct cause of inflammation and free radical damage. While this doctor talks about western medicine treatment which is what is in his tool box he should be recommending a change in life style FIRST. I have macular and changing my diet has put it into a complete halt. The vitamins didn't do anything fantastic for me.
As a sufferer of Wet Macular degeneration, I found this video hugely informative…. I have had a monthly injection (quick and painless) since August.. first 3 injections at the spectacular Royal Eye & Ear hospital in Dublin…. As I was travelling to Egypt to my sister for 6 months in October my doctor gave me copies of My file and a referral letter …. I subsequently had to travel to Belgium, and as a European citizen I have been looked after here, with another injection due on 18th…. Protocols are pretty similar in each country, though my 4th injection was 6 week gap, and there was a slight disimprovement.. thank you again for wonderful information..
I have wet AMD, shots for one year, as a diabetic of 25 yrs, eye vitamins , better diet has helped lessend eye shots from every month to every 3 months, I see better. Recommend Dr Ben Kim Vision Support (bilberry, lutein, zeaxanthin), eat blueberries, eat no sugar, take no steroids for sickness, do organic food & vitamins no soy, wheat,etc. Blessings ❤️
Not true, i went to the eye doctor last monday because i saw blurry with one eye didn't expect too much but i had to stay they did scans photo's and at the end of the day i got injection, and it hurts. I'm 53 years old, and i have the wet version. I love to read and i am a very independed woman. I am scared to go blind because the pronose is that in a couple of years the other eye will go bad too. I'm from the Netherlands. I wish that this doctor worked here because he sounds optimistic and professional. :-(
@@kallahari7542 I feel for you. It's horrible to know that one can lose an eye and worse both eyes. I had a vein occlusion. The first 2 injections didn't hurt but the last 2 injections did hurt. I then didn't trust my doctor anymore as I have the impression that she was trying to make things worse so she could cash on expensive visits paid by my insurance who didn't bat an eye. I didn't see this doctor for 14 months and went to have my eye checked by an optometrist. The exam was very thorough. According to him everything is fine and I barely have a sign of cataract while my previous ophthalmologist told me I had cataract and should have an operation. I refused because I heard that cataract operation could eventually lead to macular degeneration. The female doctor was basically awful. In her cabinet I saw two sisters who had macular degeneration and felt badly for them. All around me smelled despair and the ophthalmologist didn't care. The only thing she wanted is money. I believe that cellular phones, computers and TV are responsible for macular degeneration but the media is not going to tell you about it.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I get shots every 4 weeks, now it’s every 6 weeks The drops numb it and I don’t feel a thing. It more painful at the DENTIST!!
Aug.26 2020 I had normal vision , Aug. 27 I woke up with a blood clot blocking central vision in my left eye . Oct. 11 I had first injection , Nov. 12 I had second injection , Dec. 11 no third injection , the retina was seen to be torn . Same day I had co2 injection , Dec. 13 I had laser treatment , today Dec. 20 my left eye vision is returning and the bubble's dissipating . Central vision seems to be coming back but is not there yet .
I’ve had one of those injections in my eye. There was no pain; the thought of it was the bad thing. I’ve got both dry and wet on each eye. Thank you for this so much I was to.d that I,at go blind. My son is nearly blind after an accident in the head. We’ll look after each other.
I wish Michel Samuel was my consultant. I lost vision in my left eye when I was 26 due to MD, the treatment was unavailable back in 2006. 2 years ago, when I was 36 i developed it in my right eye also. Currently had 14 injections, thankful I can still see however the treatment no longer as effective. I don’t smoke, drink and have also been fit and healthy. All tests came back negative. Just one of those things, I just hope better treatments are on the horizon!!

Get a heavy metal blood test to see if the body has such. Sometimes it accumulates in the organs which isn’t picked up by the blood test. Clean the body out and change to a healthy diet. Get serious about your health and heal your eyes and other deseases!

I have wet macular degeneration. I get monthly injections of a medication, that cuts $4,000.00 per eye and have to depend on insurance and a charity that provides a certain sum os money yearly. I don't want people to think insurance covers everything.
I had my retina detachment operation last March 2023 and i think was not a success. I follwed all the protocols of my optha w no avail. I said to my family that it is easier to die than to live. Just imagine the sleeping position for 3 weeks here in our country the Philippines you spend a lot but the sight is still distorted and blurred and this is my left eye. And they never told us about any vitamins or so. My right eye has cataract too. Do i have to undergo my cataract surgery coz my sight is blurry already. Please advice me what to do.
I had wet type of macular degeneration in one eye I had Lucentis injection the first five injections went smooth , when I changed the doctor l had two injections the first one my eye was red and much lacrimation ,the second was much worse the lids was swollen the eye was painful ,red and much tears I put antibiotics drops and ointment for three days my eye now is good but I want to know whey this happens (I.e. The last two injections were opened one day before ) please give me an answer thank you
Just me another patient like you. My knee jerk answer is find another doctor. Mine spend more time prepping the eye numbing and cleaning with antibiotics, than the injection takes Sticking your finger in your eye because it itches is an infection problem also.Good Luck with your eye health.
It's the antiseptic they are putting on your lids to prevent infection. Tell your doctor. I use 2 ibuprofen and 1 antihistamine right after and no discomfort
Every injection isn't going to be the same. it could be the prepping process that irritated your lids. Betadine is used to scrub the lids, patient have the right to opt out of that and ask for antibiotic drops to use for 3 days. OR ask to be thoroughly rinsed afterwards and frequent use of your refresh tears.
An excellent briefing on this subject .I have a little beginning of macular which has been same for 2 years, & being watched .Im taking macu-vision plus .Should I change to the one you like ? I wasn’t quick enough to write down the one which you preferred..Would you be kind enough to put it some where that I can obtain it please..Thank you for this enlightenment..🙏🏻
@@kathyharmon2093 Can you take these vitamins also to prevent MD? I ordered those too but i already have the wet version of MD. 3 years ago i went to the hospital because i saw floaters (their like little black flys whenever you turn your head. I also had pain in my eyes and they felt a little dry. The doctor checked my eyes and said it was nothing but a little dryness. He gave me drops to keep my eyes moistered. 3 years later i got the same doctor and he gave me the devasteated news that i gor MD. He gave me the diagnose and after that i didn't saw him again. I am 55 years old. I got injections but my eyes are not getting any better. I am really angry that i got the wrong diagnose 3 years ago.
I have DM in both eyes, but had retina detachment in my left eye, had surgery but still have bad vision in my left eye. My right eyes is now losing sight, I have floaters and dark spots. I am angry and now on medication for depression and anxiety. I want my left eye repaired before surgery on my right eye is done.
I'm so sorry to hear that. My brother was diagnosed with it. We can slow it down and even though you can lose your sight. You won't lose you. Just stay strong It'll be ok.
Can you please write the name of a good vitamin for my eyes I have blurry vision seeing hadows of the words as if they write double and on top of each other
The vitamins here in Canada for MD is called Visulux and it’s bloody expensive! I’m on a fixed income and find it hard to pay the $30 for two weeks. Do you have a cheaper medication-suggestion that I can use?
I’ve just been Diagnosed with dry Mac my mother has it she’s been blind in the left guy for years she can still has Peripheral out of the right. I’m scared to death about going blind and being all alone.
Have faith in God I've had surgery to my left eye my retina has a hole inside now i think the same as you do sometimes but trust me God is so good He's our healer we will be just fine in Jesus Name have faith God bless you.
I dont know if i have macular degeneration or not but i do know my central vision has the grey clouded circle in center but wen i look into a mirror it seems as if the vision is better not complete but there might be some type of material in mirrors that can cure this vision problem
I was diagnosed with wet eye DM in right eye last wk. I see a retina specialist next week. My left eye is fine. It alarms me to hear that this affects BOTH eyes, how can this be? I'm a sr and losing sight in both eyes (assumably) scares me. please help.
Dorie McKay , to my understanding, the condition does not spread from one eye to the other. Rather, the same process that causes one eye to have problems will tend to affect the other eye as well. By the way, I am not a physician.
I have been suffering from macular dystrophy since 6 years and it usually develops slowly doctor said no proven treatment. in this situation what can I control it doctor????
I heard that plant based diet plus reduced use of vegetable oil can slow it down. Do you also have diabetes? I am not a physician, my mother has it too. I am also searching for solution.
My retina specialists diagnose me with macular pseudohole n said its a waiting game to see if or how much vision will be restored can you help me please
Sir..some people are hypersensitive to many drugs.. for eg.gentamicin.. do you test for such hypersensitivity before you give this specific intraocular injections??
I would like to ask you a question, what do you mean you lost your central visson? A person don't see att all or how does it work? I have a friend a problem recopnizeing faces when a person is far away or text that are far away, but he sees clearly when something is closer to him, a very intelligent boy i really feel for him, do you have these vitamins in Sweden so i can buy it for him to try. Thank you.
With MD losing your central vision means everything in the middle is blurry . For example i have MD and i can see a persons hair and ears but i don't see his eyes, nose and mouth which is in the central/the middle of the face. I think your friend just needs glasses for reading, you can go with him to a opticien , optrimist.
What about the eye science supplement for near sighted macular degeneration rather than old age macular degeneration? For someone in their early 30s, with -7.0 nearsightedness and macular degeneration, will taking that eye science supplement help? Any thing else you'd recommend? thanks
@@hotrodray6802 Righr, i was so shocked when they told me that i had wet MD and that they had to give me injections i first yelled Nooooooo but after 10 minutes i knew i had no choice , i want to keep my eye side, and there were no other options available. So it's your choice indeed.
Simple early detection check : when driving, close one eye at a time & observe for the center lane. Early wet MD a section nearest you will disappear if wet form is starting . That’s how I discovered it early roughly plus two years ago & started AREDs & injections. Now injections down to 4 months intervals. I personally now take 3 AREDS twice a day & watch for signs of toxicity re too much A or D vits. 2020 vision. Had dry MD diagnosed since age 36. Floaters since childhood. Have Great ophthalmologist & retinologist.
This is a great video. very informative! MY dad was told by a eye doctor he has this. Wet.. but we ordered the viatamins. How often should he take them? once a day? He did tell my dad he needs shots. So next week that is what he will do.
Hello sir , I'm from India . And my father Is 80 yrs old. He is suffering from old age eye disease like Cant see in centre . and doctor says bleeding insight and he have to take injection on eye .
I had no idea I was developing this over a whole year …maybe longer. Tho this is my fault, we have many many check backs with many doctors it’s usually a hi how are you ..listen to your lungs listen to your heart, ask about your appetite, and exam any trouble spot that took you to doctor in the first place, if your luck. They need to go on and check the eyes and any other age related high spots. They don’t and usually don’t do a lot of the other checks at all. If the doctors are in an association ..they may be limited to 15 minutes a patient. What kind of doctoring is that..? Mass production factory routine. I don’t know what the idea is with the boards of directors in turning medical care into a factory line set up is is for but it doesn’t seem beneficial.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE COMMENTS ON MACULAR DEGENERATION/WHEN JOHN'S HOPKINS TOLD MY FATHER THERE WAS NO CURE FOR IT. I HATE THAT HOSPITAL DO NOT EVER GO THERE
My pastor has Macular degeneration and he was getting the shots in the eye but the doctor who did it hurt him really bad now he won't get them anymore and his eyes have gotten worse over the last year. I love my pastor and I don't want him to go blind I'm going to show this video to his son .Thank you for this awesome information.
Sharon, does your pastor use any vitamins or supplements? I have Macular Degeneration and have been taking 20mg of lutein w/zeaxathin, Vitamins. A, C, E, and zinc. It has helped to rebuild the macula part of my eyes. I do not know if it works for everyone but maybe you could talk with your pastor about it.
forrealgirl 42 look into cod liver & coconut oil. Foods or supplements rich in lutein and zeaxanthin. Light workout like walking is good for the eyes. Start your research and Journey ASAP! Be blessed
After watching this video I learned so much regarding MD. I have floaters in my eye and will be making an appointment ASAP regarding detachment of the retina. Also the specialist you interviewed was so easy to understand, speaking in terms anyone could understand. He explained everything so well! The only information I didn't feel I received was the drug to take for the prevention/slowing down of the condition. Would you have a name of the drug, he mentioned he would recommend two or three drugs from IScience, I believe, but did not say the name of the drug to look for. If possible would you post the drugs needed...so myself and others can look for it ie aspirin, without saying the name of the manufacturer if possible.

What about pregnancy? Can macular degeneration be treated during pregnancy?. I get every 6 mounths an injection but this time my doctor doesn't know what to do.. i'm 24 y old. Anyone in a similar situation?
Alexandra, are you sure it's macular degeneration and you are 24 years old? That doesn't sound right. It usually affects older patients at least 50 and above. Unless you are getting the injections for a retinal vein occlusion or you are a diabetic. I've NEVER heard of or seen a 24 year old with AMD.
@@atseabreeze I have high myopia. That's why layers of the eye under the retina can degenerate or crack, allowing new, faulty blood vessels to grow under the retina, a process called choroidal neovascularization. The vessels can bleed and scar, with small scars causing minor macular damage and larger ones. But the treatment is the same.
@@alexandraa8643 depends on the medication you are getting but I know some people getting injections for myopia degeneration. Definitely talk to your doctor about it. There is some information out there about Avastin if administered while pregnant but I am not sure about the other medications. Going a long time without your treatment might affect your vision so address your concerns with your doctor.
Randy, with all due respect, you are a horrible interviewer, asking the same questions over and over, asking questions that are trivial or superfluous, & wasting precious time on verbiage stemming from your apparent youth & incompetence. Time to get out of this business or learn to do topical research before interview so that you are prepared to ask intelligent and helpful questions. The doctor, on the other hand, was professional, knowlegable, articulate, & informative.
if only anyone in my city (bradford) actually cared about this that would be nice .ive been told i have retinal distrophy for years but no specifics just that .hopefully someone starts caring before my visions gone.
First thing that should be done is to correct diet...get sugar out of your diet completely. Sugar is the direct cause of inflammation and free radical damage. While this doctor talks about western medicine treatment which is what is in his tool box he should be recommending a change in life style FIRST. I have macular and changing my diet has put it into a complete halt. The vitamins didn't do anything fantastic for me.
Do you believe high fruit consumption to be just as bad as table sugar?
AGREE 👍👍
@@thetankslapper Fruit consumption is just as bad, worse is fruit juice. More accurately the problem is carbohydrates.
The person with the full story is Dr Chris Knobbe
Did you have dry or wet macular degeneration? Did you regain whatever vision you lost? Can I please ask what age range you're in? Thanks!

I ordered those too but i already have the wet version of MD. 3 years ago i went to the hospital because i saw floaters (their like little black flys whenever you turn your head. I also had pain in my eyes and they felt a little dry. The doctor checked my eyes and said it was nothing but a little dryness. He gave me drops to keep my eyes moistered. 3 years later i got the same doctor and he gave me the devasteated news that i gor MD. He gave me the diagnose and after that i didn't saw him again. I am 55 years old. I got injections but my eyes are not getting any better. I am really angry that i got the wrong diagnose 3 years ago.
II CAN NOT HEAR THE VITAMIN THAT WE MUST USE PLEASE HELP ME 😅
Thanks to Dr Micheal Samuel >MD, for yr professional views jp from Australia
I have DM in both eyes, but had retina detachment in my left eye, had surgery but still have bad vision in my left eye. My right eyes is now losing sight, I have floaters and dark spots. I am angry and now on medication for depression and anxiety. I want my left eye repaired before surgery on my right eye is done.
I'm so sorry to hear that. My brother was diagnosed with it. We can slow it down and even though you can lose your sight. You won't lose you. Just stay strong
It'll be ok.

The vitamins here in Canada for MD is called Visulux and it’s bloody expensive! I’m on a fixed income and find it hard to pay the $30 for two weeks. Do you have a cheaper medication-suggestion that I can use?

I’ve just been Diagnosed with dry Mac my mother has it she’s been blind in the left guy for years she can still has Peripheral out of the right. I’m scared to death about going blind and being all alone.
Have faith in God I've had surgery to my left eye my retina has a hole inside now i think the same as you do sometimes but trust me God is so good He's our healer we will be just fine in Jesus Name have faith God bless you.
I live in Canada, what vitamins do you recommend?
He said Alreds/ Occuvite (or Walmart Equate Vision Formula 50+👍)
Lutein 5, Zeaxanthin 1 ratio.
He said AREDS2 by Bausch Loam is not good. Doesn’t really talk about why.
Maybe because if you fix it yourself he doesn't make money? Usually it's the reason.
That's what my Dr recommended ! Hate to hear him say that !
Occuvite works very well for me. Plus I eat lots of blueberries for night vision.
Excellent......
what are the names of supplement? Vit.D,C ?
I dont know if i have macular degeneration or not but i do know my central vision has the grey clouded circle in center but wen i look into a mirror it seems as if the vision is better not complete but there might be some type of material in mirrors that can cure this vision problem

I was diagnosed with wet eye DM in right eye last wk. I see a retina specialist next week. My left eye is fine. It alarms me to hear that this affects BOTH eyes, how can this be? I'm a sr and losing sight in both eyes (assumably) scares me. please help.
Dorie McKay , to my understanding, the condition does not spread from one eye to the other. Rather, the same process that causes one eye to have problems will tend to affect the other eye as well. By the way, I am not a physician.
You are right though it doesn't spread from one eye to the other, but the condition that you have can cause both eyes to have the DM
I have been suffering from macular dystrophy since 6 years and it usually develops slowly doctor said no proven treatment. in this situation what can I control it doctor????
check with AMSLER GRID If you notice wavy lines with only left eye open ,your left eye also has wet AMD .Check regularly atleast once in a month
I heard that plant based diet plus reduced use of vegetable oil can slow it down. Do you also have diabetes? I am not a physician, my mother has it too. I am also searching for solution.
Good info
is this treatment discussion also for Canadians,,canada

Thank you thank you so much for information so important thanks to you I can sleep better I worry so much to lose my vision God bless you🙏🙏❤️❤️
I am partially
I haven't heard what vitamin it is.Could you tell me please ?
Sir..some people are hypersensitive to many drugs.. for eg.gentamicin.. do you test for such hypersensitivity before you give this specific intraocular injections??
I would like to ask you a question, what do you mean you lost your central visson? A person don't see att all or how does it work? I have a friend a problem recopnizeing faces when a person is far away or text that are far away, but he sees clearly when something is closer to him, a very intelligent boy i really feel for him, do you have these vitamins in Sweden so i can buy it for him to try. Thank you.
With MD losing your central vision means everything in the middle is blurry . For example i have MD and i can see a persons hair and ears but i don't see his eyes, nose and mouth which is in the central/the middle of the face. I think your friend just needs glasses for reading, you can go with him to a opticien , optrimist.
Is there any treatment for AMD eye problems. Please help

A few bucks month.

It can't be stopped but slow the progression of the degeneration.

What about the eye science supplement for near sighted macular degeneration rather than old age macular degeneration? For someone in their early 30s, with -7.0 nearsightedness and macular degeneration, will taking that eye science supplement help? Any thing else you'd recommend? thanks
❤😅
The only concern is we don’t know the long term effects of the eye injections.
#1 go blind without them.
#2 go blind trying.
Your choice.
@@hotrodray6802 Righr, i was so shocked when they told me that i had wet MD and that they had to give me injections i first yelled Nooooooo but after 10 minutes i knew i had no choice , i want to keep my eye side, and there were no other options available. So it's your choice indeed.
@@kallahari7542 hows ur vision as of today
Simple early detection check : when driving, close one eye at a time & observe for the center lane. Early wet MD a section nearest you will disappear if wet form is starting . That’s how I discovered it early roughly plus two years ago & started AREDs & injections. Now injections down to 4 months intervals. I personally now take 3 AREDS twice a day & watch for signs of toxicity re too much A or D vits. 2020 vision. Had dry MD diagnosed since age 36. Floaters since childhood. Have Great ophthalmologist & retinologist.
Is doctor Barry carnivore and Is macular degeneration
No treatment for dry macular
To go get injection once a month is too much. I've been taking Preservision AREDS.
Very straighforward knowledgeable Doctor Thank you Is that an Ansler shirt? Just kidding
Does it help for someone with RP?
This is a great video. very informative! MY dad was told by a eye doctor he has this. Wet.. but we ordered the viatamins. How often should he take them? once a day? He did tell my dad he needs shots. So next week that is what he will do.
Hello sir , I'm from India . And my father Is 80 yrs old. He is suffering from old age eye disease like Cant see in centre . and doctor says bleeding insight and he have to take injection on eye .
it is called wet AMD(Age related macular degeneration).give AVASTIN injections to stop further damage
Does he have diabetes or heart problem too?
Eat blueberries .
Where r ur clinics
Cochilla Valley CA
I had no idea I was developing this over a whole year …maybe longer. Tho this is my fault, we have many many check backs with many doctors it’s usually a hi how are you ..listen to your lungs listen to your heart, ask about your appetite, and exam any trouble spot that took you to doctor in the first place, if your luck. They need to go on and check the eyes and any other age related high spots. They don’t and usually don’t do a lot of the other checks at all. If the doctors are in an association ..they may be limited to 15 minutes a patient. What kind of doctoring is that..? Mass production factory routine. I don’t know what the idea is with the boards of directors in turning medical care into a factory line set up is is for but it doesn’t seem beneficial.
Now i find myself this problem is with me

After watching this video I learned so much regarding MD. I have floaters in my eye and will be making an appointment ASAP regarding detachment of the retina. Also the specialist you interviewed was so easy to understand, speaking in terms anyone could understand. He explained everything so well! The only information I didn't feel I received was the drug to take for the prevention/slowing down of the condition. Would you have a name of the drug, he mentioned he would recommend two or three drugs from IScience, I believe, but did not say the name of the drug to look for. If possible would you post the drugs needed...so myself and others can look for it ie aspirin, without saying the name of the manufacturer if possible.

What about pregnancy? Can macular degeneration be treated during pregnancy?. I get every 6 mounths an injection but this time my doctor doesn't know what to do.. i'm 24 y old. Anyone in a similar situation?
Alexandra, are you sure it's macular degeneration and you are 24 years old? That doesn't sound right. It usually affects older patients at least 50 and above. Unless you are getting the injections for a retinal vein occlusion or you are a diabetic. I've NEVER heard of or seen a 24 year old with AMD.
@@atseabreeze
I have high myopia. That's why layers of the eye under the retina can degenerate or crack, allowing new, faulty blood vessels to grow under the retina, a process called choroidal neovascularization. The vessels can bleed and scar, with small scars causing minor macular damage and larger ones. But the treatment is the same.
@@alexandraa8643 depends on the medication you are getting but I know some people getting injections for myopia degeneration. Definitely talk to your doctor about it. There is some information out there about Avastin if administered while pregnant but I am not sure about the other medications. Going a long time without your treatment might affect your vision so address your concerns with your doctor.
i thinnk i have MD and i also think its in early stage... any cure for it??
wet AMD can be prevented from further damage by using anti VEGF injections AVASTIN,LUCENTIS ,MYLEA.no treatment for dry AMD
Because of stupid doctors..they did not recognise my case early. Took money without any reasult
Randy, with all due respect, you are a horrible interviewer, asking the same questions over and over, asking questions that are trivial or superfluous, & wasting precious time on verbiage stemming from your apparent youth & incompetence. Time to get out of this business or learn to do topical research before interview so that you are prepared to ask intelligent and helpful questions. The doctor, on the other hand, was professional, knowlegable, articulate, & informative.
if only anyone in my city (bradford) actually cared about this that would be nice .ive been told i have retinal distrophy for years but no specifics just that .hopefully someone starts caring before my visions gone.
Nope. Shots dont cut it PERIOD
