Advice for Macular Degeneration If you have been diagnosed with macular degeneration, alternative practitioners advise that lifestyle factors are crucial in halting or reversing this eye disease: Eat a low fat, whole-food diet. As the health of your eyes is determined by the health of your body, minimize processed foods. Quit smoking. Avoid caffeine, whether chocolate, coffee or cola, as this can worsen the disease. Avoid alcohol, as it can damage the macula. Wear sunglasses. When you’re outside, they protect the retina from further damage from ultraviolet radiation.
