DOES LUTEIN IMPROVE VISION?
Lutein is the main ingredient in health foods to protect eyes from macular
disease. A research group from the University of Manchester is looking for
volunteers to take part in a study to find out whether taking lutein supplements
can improve their vision.
MILD MACULAR DISEASE
If you live in the Manchester area and are aged over 60 or have been diagnosed
with very early stage macular-degeneration, then we would be interested in
studying your eyes.
UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER
The study will be conducted partly at the University of Manchester and partly at the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital.
