Studies were carried in patients with dry AMD using high-dose omega-3 fatty acids providing 3.4Â g of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 1.6Â g of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on a daily basis for 6 months. In patients with dry AMD, significant improvement in vision acuity occurred in 100% of patients was observed within four and half months after omega-3 supplementation.
