What are the known Risk Factors for developing Glaucoma, AMD and DR?

What can you do to LOWER the risk?

Extensive long-term studies with thousands of patients in the USA evidenced the positive effect of minerals such as zinc and copper, vitamins C and E as well as Lutein and Zeaxanthin. Additionally, the benefits of B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12) and Vitamin D were also established in large-scale studies.  Recent studies show that AMD, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma are caused by a reduced microcirculation, which leads to a B-vitamin disorder and increased homocysteine levels in the blood. Experts recommend this significantly higher requirement of nutrients should be addressed with a suitable nutrient combination and thus lowering the homocysteine level.
