Early-stage macular degeneration study.

03 Apr 2008

Diagnosed volunteers required for lutein supplement trial.

We are currently investigating whether lutein supplement can improve vision of people with early stage macular disease. Lutein is the main ingredient in health foods to protect eyes from macular disease. If you or any person you know has been diagnosed with the very early stage of macular-degeneration, then we would be interested in studying your eyes.

Travel expenses are available.

The study is conducted at the Vision Centre of The University of  Manchester.
