AB  - A  78-year-old  white  woman  presents  with  loss  of  central  vision  that  has  gradually  worsened  over  the  last  6  months.  Fully  independent  before,  she  can  no  longer  drive  and  has  difficulty  with  activities  of  daily  living.  Her  peripheral  vision  remains  normal.  Funduscopic  examination  reveals  macular  depigmentation  and  drusen  (yellowish-colored  subretinal  deposits  on  the  macula)  (Figure  23-1).  She  is  diagnosed  with  dry,  age-related  macular  degeneration.  After  her  physician  discusses  the  available  information  about  antioxidants  and  therapeutic  options,  she  decides  to  start  antioxidants  and  see  an  ophthalmologist  to  discuss  laser,  surgical,  or  medical  treatments.
