PARIS — A French study failed to demonstrate the effects of supplementation with lutein, zeaxanthin, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants on macular pigment density, according to a speaker at the meeting of the French Society of Ophthalmology. The LIMIA study, a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial carried out at the university hospitals of Bordeaux and Dijon, included 120 subjects with at least one of the parents affected by neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Mean age was 56.7 years and 71.7 years for male and female participants, respectively.
