After a pilot trial where we showed an substantial increase in plasma lutein levels and a increase in macular pigment optical density after only 3 months of daily consumption of a lutein-enriched egg-beverage, we now propose to study the effect these changes have on subjects with early ( undiagnosed) stages of macular degeneration. Age-related macula degeneration, is the leading cause of blindness in many developed countries[1-6] in older persons (usually over 55 years of age). Visual compromise rises exponentially after age of 70[7] with a 5-year incidence of around 1%. The incidence of bilateral AMD in persons with unilateral late ARM observed over a period of 10 years of over 50% with a 2.1-2.8% overall incidence in study population[8]. To date there is no curative way of fighting AMD. With the results of this trial we hope to show that with daily consumption of these enriched beverage, we can slow the progression of AMD.
