It's probably Macushield. However the supplements are generally only of use if you have very early signs of ARMD. If you have a well balanced diet and dont smoke you will minimise your risk. Genetic links arent as stron as with other eye conditions

Sorry ARMD is the same as MD.
ARMD= age-releated macular degeneration
