Vitamins containing zinc have been used for a long time to slow the progression of macular degeneration.
The most likely cure would involve some sort of stem cell therapy. I am not sure of the latest, but you might be able to get some information by looking at this web site: http://www.medrounds.org/amd/2005/09/news-from-retinal-society-meeting.html

After the shot, there is a few soreness yet in elementary words because they scrub the interest with a sterile answer. you in elementary words position a moist wash fabric over the interest and keep it closed for type of an hour or so, and that's ok. i visit probable ought to take the photos for some thing of my existence, even with the indisputable fact that it quite is high quality. the fee isn't too intense when I evaluate the fee of having the ability to work out.

I have a relative that had macular degeneration. He wanted to treat the condition without chemical drugs, so he decided to try out a natural solution. The product is called Vizu-All Plus and is made by a company by the name of Native Remedies.
My understanding is that the product contributes to supply blood, nutrients and oxygen to the capillary vessels. It has improved significantly the condition of my relative.

disagree corneal transplant does not help with retinal problems, macula is in the retina. Unfortunately no known cures so far, I see some local opthalmologists prescribing lutein vitamin, not sure if it is available in spain, unfortunately it is slowly progressive disorder, you can try webmd.com or mayoclinic.com for some information, good luck

Corneal transplant....if your friend is a candidate for that. He should see an ophthalmologist....an eye doctor with a medical degree.
