Macular degeneration: Will a supplement cocktail slow it down?
Doctors are rethinking their recommendations about a supplement used to help slow dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). They're advising people to keep taking the pill even when they reach the late stage of the disease.

Recovery lasts two to four weeks. The procedure might be covered by insurance if sagging eyelids interfere with vision.
