Fish intake (2x per week) was associated with reduced risk of early and late AMD.<br /><br />More omega-3 and AMD specific studies need to be conducted to further investigate omega-3¹s effect on AMD.<br /><br />Ref: Arch Ophthalmol. 2008;126(6):826-833. <br /><br />For more information and specific research studies by eye condition on nutrition and vision, go to <a href="http://www.naturaleyecare.com" rel="nofollow">Natural Eye Care </a>Michael Edson, MS, L.Ac.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01036217973033829018noreply@blogger.com
