Research is ongoing to see if Avastin or Lucentis injections will be useful for this condition. In the meantime, I he should speak with his retinal specialist to see if eye vitamins such as preservision AREDS formula and lutein and omega 3 fish oil and billberry will be of any benefit. I generally would recommend that for patients with macular degeneration which is at least slightly similar.
