Anyone have optical drusen?

Question

I have optic drusen in right and left eye. Right eye 10 years ago, left eye started last May. What types of vitamins have you taken, types of doctors, treatments have you had that helped the condition?

Answer 1

Drusen are usuallay (not always) an early sign of AMD ((dry)macular degeneration).

Most OD's will prescribe a rich veggie diet (a lot of greens) and some OTC vitamins designed to target the eye and ocular health (ie anti-oxidents and zinc).

The only one that is coming to mind right now is Ocu-vite, by B&L (I think). There are others and by other names but they will be on the same shelf as the ocu-vite.

Call your OD and ask for a recommendation based on the fact that you do have drusen.
