Is there any evidence for the use of lutein in the treatment of ARMD?

Responses:

Not really. In 2006 the FDA reported:

"On the basis of this evidence-based review, the FDA concluded that no credible evidence exists for a health claim about the intake of lutein or zeaxanthin (or both) and the risk of age-related macular degeneration or cataracts."

Subsequent trials have not added anything extra.
