Your Guide to Treating Dry AMD Naturally and Medically

1. Your Guide to Treating Dry AMD Naturally and Medically Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of vision loss, particularly among older adults. Unlike wet AMD, dry AMD progresses gradually and is characterized by the thinning and damage of the macula, which is responsible for sharp central vision. Although there is currently no cure for dry AMD, treatment options—both natural and medical—can help slow the progression of the disease and improve quality of life for patients. In this guide, we will explore both the conventional medical treatments and Ayurvedic (natural) approaches available to treat dry AMD, and how Sanjeevan Netralaya’s unique treatments can support your vision health. What is Dry AMD? Dry AMD occurs when the macula—the central part of the retina—begins to deteriorate, leading to a gradual loss of central vision. This condition is often associated with aging but can be influenced by factors such as smoking, diet, and genetics. Symptoms of Dry AMD include: Blurry or distorted vision Difficulty reading or seeing fine details Dark or empty spots in central vision Reduced contrast sensitivity • • • • Early detection of dry AMD is essential to prevent further progression and to manage the condition effectively. Medical Treatments for Dry AMD Although no treatment can fully cure dry AMD, several medical approaches aim to slow its progression and improve visual function. 1. Nutritional Supplements: AREDS Formula (Age-Related Eye Disease Study): The AREDS formula, a combination of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, zinc, and copper, has been shown to reduce the risk of AMD progression in patients with intermediate or advanced dry AMD. Antioxidants: Antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, found in green leafy vegetables, are also considered beneficial in supporting retinal health. • • 2. Lifestyle Modifications: Quit Smoking: Smoking is a major risk factor for AMD, so quitting is a crucial part of slowing the disease's progression. •

2. Healthy Diet: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids may help support eye health. Regular Exercise: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise can improve blood circulation, benefiting overall eye health. • • 3. Monitoring and Regular Checkups: Amsler Grid Tests: This at-home test can help patients monitor their central vision for changes or signs of progression. Regular Eye Examinations: Regular visits to your eye care specialist can help monitor the progression of dry AMD and adjust treatment plans as needed. • • Natural Ayurvedic Treatments for Dry AMD At Sanjeevan Netralaya, we provide holistic Ayurvedic treatments designed to improve eye health and manage dry AMD naturally. Ayurveda focuses on addressing the root causes of the condition by balancing the body’s energies and supporting overall well-being. 1. Ayurvedic Herbal Formulations: Certain herbs are believed to support retinal health and improve blood circulation to the eyes. Ayurvedic treatments aim to nourish the tissues of the eyes, prevent further degeneration, and stimulate the regeneration of healthy cells. These formulations are tailored specifically to each patient’s individual condition to enhance overall eye health and slow the progression of AMD. • • 2. Improved Circulation and Detoxification: Ayurvedic treatments focus on balancing the body's doshas (energies), which can help reduce inflammation and improve blood flow to the retina. By enhancing the body’s circulation, Ayurvedic treatment works to nourish the retina and support the regeneration of damaged tissues. The detoxification process can remove harmful toxins that may contribute to vision degeneration. • • 3. Non-Invasive and Safe: Ayurvedic treatments are completely natural and non-invasive, providing a safe and effective alternative to medical procedures or medications with potentially harmful side effects. This holistic approach addresses the root causes of AMD, rather than just managing symptoms. • • Why Choose Sanjeevan Netralaya for Dry AMD Treatment?
