Sponsor's own description
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the primary cause of vision loss in people over the age of 55. Currently, no cure is available for individuals suffering from AMD. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a 5-month egg intervention in adults with intermediate AMD. The objective of this research study is to evaluate the feasibility of a whole egg (2 or 4 per day) intervention in older adults with intermediate AMD. The secondary objective of this research is to determine descriptive statistics, change over time and estimate effect sizes for retinal sensitivity, and vision, cognition and physical function. By completing these research objectives, the researchers hope to gain preliminary evidence in support of a larger trial that will assess the impact of egg consumption on eye health in adults with AMD.
